Q

CATTELL what is cognitive flexibility

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. knowing how to apply knowledge
  2. knowing when to apply knowledge
  3. knowing where to apply knowledge
  4. knowing to what degree to apply knowledge
25
CATTELL what is cog flexibility similar to
Gc
26
CATTELL what is relationship bw Gf and Gc in early life
high correlation
27
CATTELL what happens to Gf and Gc later in life
- diverge - more reliance on Gc - less reliance on Gf
28
CATTELL why are Gf and Gc highly correlated at first
- more situation new to us - we apply Gf to new situations - we build templates in brain for recognizing patterns - we crystallize templates (Gc)
29
CATTELL why does Gf decline later on in life
- less situations new to us - rely more on pattern recognition - rely less on problem solving
30
CATTELL what is wisdom paradox
- rise in Gc | - decline in Gf
31
CATTELL what is general intelligence related to
Gf
32
EI what are 4 components of EI
1. ability to perceive emotions accurately 2. ability to use emotions to facilitate thoughts and actions 3. ability to understand emotions and where they are coming from 4. ability to manage emotions
33
EI what kind of people did Damasio study
- damage to brain areas associated with emotion | - no damage to brain areas associated w standard measures of intelligence
34
EI what were Damasio findings
- participants performed normally on IQ test | - participants got overwhelmed by information presented to them
35
EI how does EI contribute to intelligence
helps us zero in on relevant information
36
TRIARCHIC what does Sternberg's theory of triarchic intelligence involve
1. analytical intelligence 2. creative intelligence 3. practical intelligence
37
TRIARCHIC what is practical intelligence
components applied to real world settings
38
TRIARCHIC what is creative intelligence
components applied to unfamiliar situations
39
TRIARCHIC what is practical intelligence
intelligence applied to real world settings
40
what is theory of multiple intelligences
multiple kinds of intelligence that apply to specific domains of human behaviour
41
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what is theory of cultural intelligence
general intelligence evolved from social learning
42
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what is idea behind theory of cultural intelligence
- innovation central to g comes from coordination of (1) attention (2) working memory (3) PS skills central to social learning
43
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what is knowledge illusion
- thinking we know more than we do | - thinking we understand more than we do
44
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what is most knowledge held by and not held by
- most knowledge is held by sys of people | - most knowledge is not held by one person
45
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what may cultural intelligence explain
Upper Palaeolithic Transition
46
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what is Upper Palaeolithic Transition
period of intelligence evolution
47
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what happened during Upper Palaeolithic Evolution
- human cognition accelerated | - traits associated with intelligence emerged
48
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what does contextual focus refer to
ability to move bw focused attention and defocused attention
49
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what is defocused attention associated with
1. intuitive thought | 2. expanded attention field
50
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what is focused attention associated with
1. logical thought | 2. shrunken attention field
51
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what allows us to expand / shrink attention field
metacognitive control
52
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE what happens in defocused
filter through information to find what is relevant
53
BIOLOGY what were results of family studies
- higher correlation bw intelligence of biologically related individuals - lower correlation bw intelligence biologically unrelated individuals
54
BIOLOGY what do results suggest
intelligence is heritable
55
BIOLOGY what is the problem with family studies
- genes and enviro not separate | - hard to tell whether correlation of intelligence of biologically related individuals due to genes or enviro
56
BIOLOGY what is solution to family studies
compre a. correlation of intelligence of identical twins that were raised apart b. correlation of intelligence of fraternal twins raised together
57
BIOLOGY what does it mean if intelligence correlations higher for identical twins
intelligence is heritable
58
BIOLOGY why may genes + enviro not actually have been separated in twin studies
twins put into similar enviro
59
BIOLOGY what is nature via nurture
- genes determine range of intelligence | - enviro determines where in range person falls
