Luis Alberto Machado (21 January 1932 – 23 February 2016) was a Venezuelan lawyer, author, Secretary of the Presidency and Minister of Intellectual Development of Venezuela.[1] He was best known for his ideas about the malleability of intelligence.
Machado served as Secretary of the Presidency during Rafael Caldera's first Presidency (1969-1974).[2]
He asserted, in his books and writings on the subject, that perceived limits on intelligence are false and are primarily tied to upbringing and social conditioning. He argued that through careful environmental stimulation, especially in the early stages of child development, intelligence can be developed indefinitely and exponentially throughout life.[3] As a politician, he stated that a nation's collective intellectual power was its greatest asset.[4][5]
He was appointed Minister of Intellectual Development,[6] a cabinet post created specifically for advancing and applying his ideas with government backing, during the presidency of Luis Herrera Campins (1979–1984).[7] This program was known as the Intelligence Project,[6] and, although given a small budget,[8] resulted in a number of government initiatives aimed at improving educational opportunities in Venezuela.[3]
