摘要:This research has as a main goal to investigate the mobilization of the intelligence in many circumstances, even in ludic circumstances or out of it. We involved subjects between nine and twelve years old, students from the elementary school, who carried out in the Physical Education class two versions of the game Never Three. After that they had to answer questions with unlimited time about the attitude of the players during the game. This was compared with one situation in which they answered questions about mathematics, in two moments: with limited time of one second and unlimited time. This study was founded, mainly, at Jean Piaget work about genetic epistemology. We appealed to the participant observation method and content analyze, integrating each one to the quantitative analyzes. The obtained results led us to suppose that the intelligence is a circumstantial attribute, which means that it is able to, even under changed circumstances, promote incessantly adaptations within some limits.
