Psychological Issues in Intelligence Testing || with A+
Guaranteed Solutions.
Practical implementations of modern theories of mental ability (esp. CHC)
-full-scale ability
-structural, hierarchical organization
-verbal, nonverbal abilities
-other components, abilities (e.g., memory) correct answers measure people's intelligence in
context of their environment, ie. environment of children whilst growing up (are parents
supporting, do they have good foundation to build their accumulating knowledge on top of, etc.),
are adults' intelligence being measured proportional to work- related skills needed to succeed in
society (outside the realm of academia), what is person's health like, their intellectual stimulation
on a regular basis, are they malnourished, etc.
As a group, are children's IQs stable or do they change? correct answers Relatively stable, with
high longitudinal correlations, even after 10 years
For indidivudal children who shows gains or losses in IQ? correct answers sharp rises/drops in
IQ as a result of environmental changes related to their home life usually and how their parent(s)
encourage their intellectual growth and stimulation.
What factors are associated with gains? correct answers --(1)environmental stability:
developmentally/longitudinally Ss are in the same family, SES, cultural mileu and subject to the
respective advantages/disadvantages of each.
**IQ interventions that develop pre-rerequisites of education**
intellectual:
-inquisition of language
-quantitative concepts
attitudinal:
-interests
-motives
, -problem-solving styles
-reactions to frustration
-self-concept
-etc
California Guidance Study:
individual IQ changes as much as 50 points / 6-18y (high test-retest r): 59% +/- 15+ IQ; 37% +/-
20+IQ; 9% +/- 30+
*significant correlations with followup at age 30
**consistent upward and downward trends of several consecutive years
--majority of downward trend due to cultural milieu and emotional climate
(3)acceleration attempts: "the extent to which the parent deliberately trained the child in various
mental and motor skills which were not yet essential" :[anecdotal: x]
What factors are associated with losses? correct answers During the preschool years, emotional
dependency on parents = principle condition associated with IQ loss.
During the school years, lack of high achievement drive, competitive striving, and curiosity
about nature (developmentally dependent on emotional hygiene)
Early child/infant IQ: what functions are tested? correct answers How infant interacts with their
environment - are they meeting the average qualitative norms of their age? Typically intelligence
tests predict mentally retarded children's performance than it does normal children.
What is the relationship between infant IQ (<2yo and preschool IQ? Later IQ? correct answers
Predictive up until they are 3-4 years old. Cannot predict their intelligence after preschool. Better
indicators are home/life environment.
What does the nature of early childhood IQ seem to be? correct answers It is mostly dependent
on how they interact with their environment - follows along the lines of Gisele's developmental
norms.
Does adult intelligence decline with age? correct answers In general, yes, however, not as steeply
as once thought. In addition, it depends on health, nutrition, type of career (does it utilize abstract
thinking, verbal mastery and arithmetic?). Huge variation when looking at individuals, but in
population, yes, there is decline after age of 34.
what is a cross section study? correct answers When we look at different age groups at the same
time, ie. observing 20 - 25 year olds and 60- 65 years old in 2017 to see what their intelligence
scores look like compared to each other.
