Letto per un esame di Psicologia Cognitiva.
L'ho trovato molto ripetitivo e con descrizioni dei vari metodi di misurazione estremamente riduttive.
Le metafore possono essere utili, ma non si esplicita quale differenza la metafora sistemica può fare nel momento in cui dovesse venire applicata per sviluppare le capacità intellettive.
Linguaggio contorto e utilità bassa. Sembra più un bignamino o una lista di metodi da andare ad approfondire poi per conto proprio.
Sorry, gli accademici devono capire che ora è necessario effettuare un minimo di sforzo di stile in più.
