Historical approaches to the measurement of intelligence and genetic and environmental determinants of intelligence will be covered taking a critical perspective. Then focusing on clinical psychology the module will examine how we define `atypical¿ behaviour, along with the explanations of such behaviour including learning theory, biology and genetics, and psychoanalytic explanations.
