Chapter 10 Flashcards
How did the Stanford- Binet (Terman) measure intelligence?
- IQ (radio intelligence quotient)
- IQ= mental age / chronological age x 100
Spearman’s two factory theory of intelligence proposed two ideas of intelligence- what are they?
- General intelligence (g) : part of all forms of intellect
2. Specific intelligence (s): special abilities
Factor analysis was used in who’s theory?
- Spearman
Verbal comprehension, verbal fluency, memory, and perceptual speed were some of the 7 primary abilities proposed by _____
Thurstone
The hierarchical model of intelligence is a compromise between __ and ___
- g and s
The Binet- Simin scale gave a measure of ______ age
- Mental
This scale includes :
Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning,
Working Memory,
and Processing Speed.
It is the most widely used intelligence test
- Weschler scale
Using factor analysis, there appear to be 2 major “factors” measures on the WAIS- what are they?
Verbal abilities and performance abilities (nonverbal subtests)
This approach to intelligence focuses on the use of standardized tests to identify individual differences among ppl.
- Psychometric approach
IQ tests girls ordered differences among ppl. What does that mean?
- It results in an evaluative dimension in which person A is less or more intelligent than person B
What does it mean to say that IQ tests are pragmatically oriented?
- They determine the type of education that a student should receive
IQ scores correlate ___ to ____ with school performance
0.5 to 0.6
What is the difference between reliability and validity?
- Reliability = asks whether the test gives repeatable scores (consistency of measurement)
- Validity = asks whether the test measures the intended domain
- -> criterion validity determines whether Iq can predict a criterion such as school performance
Do IQ tests work?
- Reliable? In the short term, yes. Long term, less so.
- Valid? Yes, they are reasonable predictors of success in school and the workplace, particularly for more complex jobs
Dynamic testing can improve ______
- Validity
What does dynamic testing involve? Who’s theory is it based off of?
- Involves direct observation of a child actively learning new material
- new and under evaluation
- Based on Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development and scaffolding
How stable is IQ from childhood to adulthood?
- IQ scores become stable across childhood through to adulthood
- Some research findings suggest infant response to novelty is associated with later IQ scores
- Family studies and twin studies suggest that IQ is, in part, genetic
What is the media correlation of IQ with parents and children? Siblings?
- Parents and children = 0.50
- Siblings = 0.55
Stage environment for and cultural compatibility can impact ______ development
- Intellectual
What kind of studies suggest that schooling can affect children’s cognitive development?
- Cross cultural
Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences is a _____psyhological theory based on his experiences with ppl with brain damage
- neuro
_____ and _____ are often not captured through conventional iq tests
- Creativity
- Giftedness
Divergent thinking, personality, and motivation are part of _______
- Creativity
Gifted and creative children, children with intellectual challenge, and children with learning disabilities are examples of _____ children with ______ needs.
- Special

- Gifted
- To be intellectually challenged
In Canada, terms developmental disability or intellectual impairment refer to what?
- Substantially below average intelligence and problems adapting to an environment that emerge before the age of 18
A ______ disability is defined as a “number of disorders which may affect the acquisition, organization, retention, understanding or use of verbal or nonverbal information. They are considered separate from intellectual impairments as they occur in ppl with at least average abilities for thinking and reasoning
- Learning
