Welcome to the Psychology Podcast, where we give you insights into the mind, brain, behavior, and creativity.

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman,

and in each episode I have a conversation with a guest

he will stimulate your mind and give you a greater understanding

of yourself, others, and the world we live in. Hopefully we'll also

provide a glimpse into human possibility. Thanks for listening and enjoy the

podcast.

Dr Heyer is Professor Emeritus in the School of Medicine University of California Irvine.

His research investigates structural and functional neuroanotomy of intelligence using

neuroimaging.

He created an 18 lecture video course, The Intelligent Brain, and authored the

Neuroscience of Intelligence. He is co-editor of the Cambridge Handbook of Intelligence

and Cognitive Neuroscience. He is editor-in-Chief of Intelligence, a Scientific Journal, and Dr. Ahare received the

Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Society for Intelligence Research.

Congratulations on that award and looking forward to talk to me today.

Well, thanks very much.

This has been a long time in coming.

I've known you for years.

I'm glad we are finally able to do this.

Yes, I have known you for years. I remember us talking at this Harvard

Visual Spatial Conference. That must have been like a decade ago at this point.

Yeah, at least, yeah. It was interesting because we had brain images of visual spatial tasks at the time.
