The Universal Nature of Human Intelligence: Evidence from Games.

Spitz, Herman H.

Intelligence, v2 n4 p371-79 Oct 1978

Games have been played since ancient times and throughout the world, with performance indicating wisdom. Games invariably express certain universal intellectual traits. Mancala and Three in a Row games are briefly described. (Author/RD)
