Abstract
This is an initial summary report of a project taking a new and systematic
approach to improvin the intellectual effectiveness of the individual human
being. A detailed conceptual framework
explores the nature of the system composed of the individual and the
tools, concepts, and methods that match his basic capabilities to his problems.
One of the tools that shows the greatest immediate promise is the computer,
when it can be harnessed for direct on-line assistance, integrated with
new concepts and methods.
