CIHS Unit 3 Flashcards
designed to assess a test taker’s knowledge in a certain academic area
achievement test
tests designed to evaluate a person’s ability to learn a skill or subject
aptitude tests
Does the test measure what it claims to measure?
Validity
Will the test yield the SAME results over time?
Reliability
when comparing two different IQ tests on a graph it is the correlation between the two and their reliability is considered to be strong if the absolute value of r is greater than 0.75
“r” score
defining uniform testing procedures and scoring guidelines
standardization
a measure of intelligence performance
Binet’s mental age
mental age/ chronological age X 100= IQ
Calculating IQ
2-adulthood/ 4 key areas (verbal reasoning, abstract reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and short-term memory)
Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale Test
6-16/ verbal IQ and performance IQ
WISC
16- adulthood/ separate scores( verbal, comprehension, perceptual organization, working memory, processing speed, and an overall intelligence)
WAIS
infants and toddlers/ DQ(developmental quotient) instead of IQ, useful in spotting developmental delays
Bayley Scales of Infant Development
believed that people’s intelligence is purely genetic
Francis Galton’s view on intelligence
general intelligence that underlies all intellectual domains
“g-factor”
knowledge acquired(facts, memorized things, semantic)(remains stable or increases with age)
crystallized intelligence
reasoning and abstract memory, to do things(decreases with age)
fluid intelligence
ability to analyze problems and find correct answers (most IQ tests)
Analytic intelligence(Sternberg)
ability to people develop new ideas and create new concepts (Picasso’s cubism)
Creative intelligence(Sternberg)
ability to cope w/ people and events in their environment (street smarts)
Practical intelligence(Sternberg)
human beings have different ways in which they process data, each being independent( musical-rhythmic, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalistic)
Howard Gardner’s ‘multiple intelligence’
Onset prior to 18
IQ below 70
Intellectual disability
extra 21st chromosome
down syndrome
more likely in males/ mutation in the FMR-1 gene
fragile X syndrome
enzyme deficiency and mutation on the 12th chromosome
Phenylketonuria
water in the brian
hydrocephaly
IQ equal to or greater than 135
gifted students
to examine the development of gifted children
Reason for Lewis Termans Longitudinal study
noticed a problem with the original formula for IQ
gifted students in California
developed the Standford-Binet intelligence quotient
Summary of Lewis Termans study
genetic basis for IQ
certain groups can never achieve
Proof: failure of government programs to raise scores in underprivileged areas
Impact: 1. POWER OF NATURE 2. Stimulates a new wave of studies on race and IQ
Arthur Jensen
genetic inheritance
Nature
Experiences
Nuture
a person’s characteristic emotional responses and intensity
Temperament
interested in researching safeguards to an infant’s survival
rhesus monkey raised with two surrogate mothers
one cloth no nipple
one wire with nipple and food
baby monkeys preferred cloth mothers even when no food was present
Harlow’s ‘contact comfort’ experiment
being held is just as important as being fed for attachment as an infant
contact comfort
baby is upset but easily consoled
secure attachment
baby is inconsolable by a caregiver
anxious-ambivalent attachment
infant shows no care for the caregiver’s return
avoidant attachment
parents provide contact and if they fulfill your fundamental needs
If not… insecurity and anxiety
Trust and mistrust (Stage 1 of Erikson’s psychosocial development)
parents creating a restrictive environment
results in self-doubt
Self-doubt (Stage 2 of Erikson’s psychosocial development)
how does the caregiver respond to self-initiative activities
If overprotective … parents lead to guilt and a lack of self-worth
Initiative and Guilt( Stage 3 of Erikson’s psychosocial development)
competence/complete failure in social settings
This could lead to inferiority, lack of self-confidence
Industry and inferiority(Stage 4 of Erikson’s psychosocial development)
where am I going and who am I
sense of self could be fragmented, shifting, and unclear
Identity and role confusion(Stage 5 of Erikson’s psychosocial development)
love/ need vulnerability willingness to open yourself up to others
This could lead to a feeling of loneliness separation, denial of intimacy needs
Intimacy and Isolation(Stage 6 of Erikson’s psychosocial development)
care/ good at job= communicate and be proud, a reflection of past experiences
If not satisfied could lead to feelings of self-indulgent, lack of future
Generativity and Stagnation(Stage 7 of Erikson’s psychosocial development)
how much have you accomplished in life
If lacking in accomplishments could have feelings of futility and disappointment
Ego-integrity and despair(Stage 8 of Erikson’s psychosocial development)
child begins to develop object permanence, display inborn schemas of sucking, looking, and grasping and experience stranger anxiety
Sensorimotor(0-2)(Piaget’s stages of cognitive development)
egocentrism/selfishness, animism/ belief that objects have feelings, centration/focus on one aspect of a situation
Preoperational(2-7)(Piaget’s stages of cognitive development)
conservation/ no matter a change in form the object holds the same properties, the beginning of logical thinking, transformation or reversibility
Concrete operational(7-11)(Piaget’s stages of cognitive development)
capacity for abstract reason and hypothetical thinking, several solutions to problems, abstract principles, conceptual, frontal lobe activity increases
Formal operational(11+)(Piaget’s stages of cognitive development)
making subtle changes to include new items/adding new information to an existing schema with little effort
assimilation
storing new information that conflicts with a previous schemas/ altering schemas a result of new information or experiences
accomadation
onceptual framework that provides expectations about topics, events, objects, and situations in one’s life
schema
quality of being overly interested in one self, at the expense of other people
egocentrism
changes in form of an object do not alter physical properties of mass, volume, and number
conservation
