20
Q

A

same age
- unrelated children raised together
- no genetic link
ex. adopted - adopted

21
Q

full adoption design

A

22
Q

partial adoption design

A

biological parents - biological kids
adoption parents - adoption kids

23
Q

adoption designs

A
  • showed that biological relatives reared in separate environments were similar due to genes
  • also unrelated people living together were still somewhat alike because of the shared environment
24
Q

gardner

A

multiple intelligence
- said Sternbergs model is not rooted in the brain

25
fluid intelligence
basic info processing skills - detecting relationships among stimuli, analytical speed, working memory
26
crystallized intelligence
skills that depend on: - accumulated knowledge experience, good judgement, mastery of social convo and values by persons culture
27
triarchic theory (sternberg)
- info processing problems are not real life problems, IQ measures school learning, doing well in school = doing well in life - componential (internal): includes info processing for ex; strategy application -contextual sun theory: adopting to the environment for ex; we adopt, shape and select - experimental intelligence: mastery and automaticity for ex; we master a problem so it become automatic such as driving
28
hierarchical theory
highly-influential way of organizing human needs from the most "basic" to the most advanced - Maslow bottom to top - physiological needs -safety needs - love and belonging - esteem - self-actualization
