Intelligence Flashcards
The capacity to understand the world, think rationally, and use resources effectively when faced with challenges.
Intelligence
The single, general factor for mental ability to underlie intelligence in some early theories of intelligence.
G or G-Factor
2 kinds of Intelligence
- Fluid Intelligence
- Crystallized Intelligence
Intelligence that reflects the ability to think logically, reason abstractly, and solve problems.
Fluid Intelligence
The accumulation of information, knowledge, and skills that people have learned through experience and education.
Crystallized Intelligence
A psychologist that taken an approach very different from traditional thinking about intelligence.
Howard Gardner
An intelligence theory that proposes that there are 8 distinct spheres of intelligence.
Theory of Multiple Intelligence
8 different forms of Intelligence
- Musical
- Bodily Kinesthetic
- Logical Mathematics
- Linguistic
- Spatial
- Interpersonal
- Intrapersonal
- Naturalist
It involves identifying and thinking about the fundamental questions of human existence.
Existential Intelligence
It activates during completing intelligence relating to both verbal and spatial domains located above the outer edge of the eyebrow about where people rest their heads in the palms of their hands if they are thinking hard about a problem.
Lateral Prefrontal Cortex
Skills in tasks involving music.
Musical Intelligence
Skills in using the whole body or various portions of it in the solution of problems or in the construction of products or displays, exemplified by dancers, athletes, actors, and surgeons.
Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence
Skills in problem solving and scientific thinking.
Logical Mathematical Intelligence
Skills involved in the production and use of language.
Linguistic Intelligence
Skills involving spatial configuration, such as those used by artists and architects.
Spatial Intelligence
Skills in interacting with others, such as sensitivity to the moods, temperaments, motivations, and intentions of others.
Interpersonal Intelligence
Knowledge of the internal aspects of oneself; access to one’s own feelings and emotions.
Intrapersonal Intelligence
Ability to identify and classify patterns in nature.
Naturalist Intelligence
The intelligence related to overall success in living.
Practical Intelligence
It focuses on abstract but traditional types of problems measured on IQ tests.
Analytical Intelligence
2 basic interrelated types of Intelligence
- Analytical Intelligence
- Creative Intelligence
The set of skills that underlie the accurate assessment, evaluation, expression, and regulation of emotions.
Emotional Intelligence
Tests devised to quantify a person’s level of intelligence.
Intelligence Tests
French psychologist that developed the first real intelligence test.
Alfred Binet
The age for which a given level of performance is average or typical.
Mental Age
A score that into account an individual’s mental and chronological age.
Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
It is where IQ scores are determined in a different manner.
Deviation IQ scores
A bell-shaped graph that plotted when IQ scores from large numbers of people.
Bell-Shaped Distribution
The test consists of a series of items that vary according to the age of the person being tested.
Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale
The IQ test most frequently used that is devised by psychologist that is for adults.
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV (WAIS-IV)
The IQ test most frequently used that is devised by psychologist that is for children that measure verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed.
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V)
The property by which tests measure consistently what they are trying to measure.
Reliability
The property by which tests actually measure what they are supposed to measure.
Validity
Standards of test performance that permit the comparison of one person’s score on a test with the scores of other individuals who have taken the same test.
Norms
A developed for tests for norms.
Standardized Tests
The test that every test-taker receives a different set of test questions.
Adaptive Testing
The former term labelling intellectually disabled in large part because of the inclusiveness of the definition developed by the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
Mentally Retarded
A disability characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills.
Intellectual Disability
Individuals with IQs of 40 to 54 whose deficits are obvious early, with language and motor skills lagging behind those of peers.
Moderate Intellectual Disability
Individuals whose IQs are 25 to 39.
Severe Intellectual Disability
Individuals whose IQs are below 25 and are generally unable to function independently and typically require care for their entire lives.
Profound Intellectual Disabilities
The most common cause of intellectual disability in newborns, occurring when the mother uses alcohol during pregnancy.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
It represents another cause of intellectual disabilities and results when a person is born with 47 chromosomes.
Down Syndrome
Intellectual disability in which no appears biological defect exists but there is a history of intellectual disability in the family.
Familial Intellectual Disability
The practice of educating students with intellectual deficits and other special needs in regular classes during specific time periods.
Mainstreaming
The total integration of all students, even those with the most severe educational disabilities, into regular classes.
Full Inclusion
The 2%-4% segment of the population who have IQ score greater than 130.
Intellectually Gifted
A test trial that does not discriminative against the members of any minority group.
Culture-Fair IQ Test
A book published by psychologist, Richard Herrnstein, and sociologist, Charles Murray, where they argued that an analysis of differences between whites and blacks demonstrated that although environment factors played a role, there were also basic genetic difference between the two races.
The Bell Curve
The degree to which a characteristic is related to genetic, inherited factors.
Heritability
It is where a test is repeatedly re-norm as an average score kept creeping up, gradually making it more and more challenging.
Flynn Effect
