CD Exam 3"g" - correct answer ✔✔-general intelligence.
-believe intelligence is a single trait
-support for this: different sub-scales on tests are positively correlated; g scores correlate with other
things like grades and neural transmission speed.
two trait intelligence - correct answer ✔✔-Cattel and Horn's theory
-fluid intelligence: ability to figure out novel situations to problems; relatively culture free
-crystallized intelligence: knowledge that we have acquired; what you already know; influenced by
EDUCATION
-Support for this: sub-scales of these tests correlate together BUT fluid influences crystallized; fluid tests
correlate more with one another than crystallized tests
Sternberg's - correct answer ✔✔-the ability to adapt to shape and select environments to accomplish
one's goal and those of the one's society and culture
-use strengths to minimize weaknesses
-3 types of intelligence:
1) Practical abilities: reasoning about everyday problems
2) Creative abilities: reasoning in novel circumstances
3) Analytical abilities: traditional intelligence test measures
-intelligence depends on how we do in our environment and everyone should be taught in the style that
matches their strengths
-the 3 types of intelligence work together but are not hierarchically related
-STUDY: students attended a summer program psychology class and the instruction either matched or
mismatched their strengths. Findings show that matching strengths made a difference but only
moderate correlations between the 3 types of intelligence
Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences - correct answer ✔✔-8-10 autonomous intellectual
competencies that interact to produce a diverse mix of talents
, What is a mental age quotient? - correct answer ✔✔-Mental age quotient is the equation to calculate
one's IQ.
-IQ=(mental age/chronological age)x100
-Problems: IQ may decrease with age as an adult; age 6 and age 10 with the same mental age quotient
are very different
What do we do to calculate IQ today? - correct answer ✔✔-To calculate IQ today we use deviation IQ
(bell curve)
-Mean of 100; SD of +/-15
-Pros: Hold developmental differences constant, so there is more room for comparison of individual
differences between children at same age
-Con: Different measures across development
-Also use the Wischler Intelligence Test for Children (WISC)
WISC - correct answer ✔✔VERBAL SECTION:
-crystallized intelligence
-tests general knowledge
PERFORMANCE SECTION:
-fluid intelligence
-tests spatial and perceptual abilities
EXAMPLES:
-2 year olds recognize drawing of objects (verbal); finding hidden objects that had seen earlier
(learning/memory); place objects in hole of proper shape (perceptual skills/motor coordination)
WISC-IV
-Verbal Comprehension Index
-Perceptual Reasoning Index
-Working Memory Index
-Processing Speed Index
