Q

while some psychologists today still regard g as the most fundamental measure of intelligence, others prefer to emphasize the distinctive profile of strengths and weaknesses present in each person’s performance. a recently published review identifies over 70 different abilities that can be distinguished by currently available tests

Q

r is negative because higher test scores go with shorter times

Q

VEP stands for

A

visually evoked potentials

18
Q

a figure called the heritability (h2) of the trait represents the proportion of that variation that is associated with genetic differences among the individuals. the remaining variation (1-h2) is associated with environmental differences and with errors of measurement

19
Q

vocabulary size is substantially heritable and highly correlated with general psychometric intelligence. although every word in an individual’s vocabulary is learned

20
Q

the number of words that individuals actually learned depends to a considerable extent on their genetic predisposition

21
Q

the heritability of IQ changes with age

22
Q

h2 goes up and c2 goes down from infancy to adulthood

23
Q

traits dépend on learning and they may be subject to other environmental effects as well. the value of h2 can change if the distribution of environments (or genes) in the population is substantially altered

24
Q

what a person values and what they do has a significant effect on their intellectual capability

25
Q

westernized cultures typically do better on psychometric tests

26
Q

sons with higher IQ’s tend to get higher status then their lower IQ fathers

27
Q

complex jobs create intellectual flexibility

28
Q

children with higher test scores are less likely to dropout

29
Q

children who attend school intermuttanlty get lower scores than those who attend regularly

30
Q

visual transmission in schools effects learning

31
Q

children who participated in preschool programs do better

32
Q

exposure to famine has no effect on adult intelligence, if exposed prenatally

33
Q

malnutrition during childhood has longterm intellectual effects

34
Q

certain toxins have negative effects on intelligence

35
Q

children exposed to alcohol before birth had scored five some points below controls

36
Q

low birth weight babies have lower test scores later in life
