CH10: Intelligence Flashcards
Flynn Effect
IQ scores higher than they used to be
- improved health + education
- focus on abstract thinking
- tech = better STM
intelligence
human ability to use knowledge, solve problems, learn, understand, and adapt
construct validity
am I measuring intelligence?
concurrent validity
do my results of someone’s intelligence match another test’s results for that person?
predictive validity
should predict success in school
test-retest reliability
same results every time you take the test
3 components of Binet-Simon theory
direction - what and how to do smthg
adaptation - create strategies + monitor progress
criticism - analyze errors
mental age
perform to level of average person that age
Terman’s intelligence quotient
(mental age / real age) *100
Galton
17 physio tests to measure intelligence
Stanford - Binet test
mental age vs. real age in children
Terman
standardized Stanford-Binet test & Americanized it; biased to culture + lang
David Wechsler
made available to adults by using SD chunks to measure intelligence
Atkinson - Shiffron
multi-store model explaining relationship b/w cognitive processing + memory
WAIS tests
verbal, perceptual reasoning, STM, processing speed; :) cross-culturally
stereotype threat
fear of confirming neg. stereotype = worse performance
selection effects
low skillsets for men dropped out of sample (dropout of HS) so women compared to best
general intelligence (g)
Spearman; 1 factor underlying all mental abilities
Cattell’s 2 components
divided g into
- crystallized intelligence: accumulated knowledge (LTM)
- fluid intelligence: think quick + flexible (STM)
Carroll’s 3-stratum theory
Gf = fluid reasoning Gc = comprehension knowledge
wisdom paradox
as you get old, you get wise (cryst. intelligence) despite mental faculties declining
cognitive flexibility
knowing how to apply your knowledge
emotional intelligence
perceive, use, understand, manage emosh; social intelligence
Sternberg
theory of triarchic intelligence
