Abstract

In this chapter, I propose two conceptual innovations related to cognition and intelligence. Both build on the work of Demetriou and colleagues, as presented in Chap. 10. In terms of their concept of hypercognition, I expand it to include other executive and cognitive processes, as well as socioaffective ones. The new concept that I developed is termed cognitive/socioaffective complexes. They also described domains of intelligence. I expand this work into a revised concept of multiple intelligences. The intelligences relate to the stages of the present model, and the concept of domains has been included in the model.
