'Information-Gathering':

"To use the terms of the twentieth-century psychologist, Jean Piaget (1896-1980), Aristotelian intelligence involved not only 'accommodatory' re-arrangements of learning and adjustive re-structuring, but also the 'assimilatory' processes of intake that inform them. In the language of today's cognitive psychology, intelligence involved not only high-level, overarching strategies, heuristics (formulae) and 'meta-processes' (principles about processes) but also information-gathering from the environment and very 'basic' processes of transmission of simple information."

"....perhaps psychologists would have come to understand g earlier if they had considered that, in English, the term 'intelligence' has particular reference to information-gathering (as in its classic military usage) rather than to the final use of such information, which is often distorted by features of motivation and temperament."
