Q

Factor analysis of intelligence

A

Multiple factors
Group certain factors together into categories

Intelligence is based on # and organization of factors (factor analysis)
Ex: vocab + writing skills = verbal (high correlations together)

Q

Psychometric approach

A

Based on standardized norms
Data in normal distribution
Mean 100 SD 15
Unlike simon benet…

To compare individ differences to population
Pragmatical use: ex what type of education child should receive

Increased with dynamic testing

16
Q

Criterion validity

A

Whether IQ can predict a criterion such as school performance

Yes: reasonable predictors of success in school, workplace, for complex jobs

17
Q

Dynamic testing

A

Measures learning potential
Fluid testing
How quick they can adapt to new material
Direct observation of a child actively learning new mat

Increases validity because Iq tests more a measure of crystallized, and that is based on environment

18
Q

Why validity can increase with dynamic testing

A

Dynamic testing: measure of fluid intelligence

Iq tests based on crystallized: which is the knowledge you already know

Yet this is influenced by env: vygotsky
Zone of proximal dev and scaffolding

19
Q

Zone of proximal dev and scaffolding

A

Sociocultural
Takes in account aid from peers
What learner can do with guidance

20
Q

Bayley scales

A

For babies 1-2yrs
Test sensorimotor skills
Ex, habituation to a rattle raddled behind head
Smiles at mirror image

Habituation more a predictor of intelligence: response to novelty

21
Q

Heritability

A

Diffs among groups

Genetic

22
Q

Heritability factor

A

0: all environment
1: all genetic
Different among cultures, places, etc

23
Q

HOME research

A

Correlates with infant’s intelligence only and not adult intelligence

Based on fact that fam env can alter intelligence

1hr visits for 3 yrs

24
Q

Gardner

A

Multiple intelligences: musical, natural, interpersonal, intrapersonal, etc…

Creativity: divergent thinking, personality and motivation

25
Q

Convergent thinking: arriving at ONE correct answer

26

Creativity

A

Assoc with divergent thinking (new and unusual)

27
Q

Intellectual impairment

A

Substantially below average iq and problems adapting to env

Emerge before 18

28
Q

Disorders that can affect learning: aquisition, organization, retention, understanding, etc

May affect
