Q

what is the structure of intelligence branch

A

has a hierarchical structure

general intelligence split into learnt factors and biological potential

learnt includes spelling, writing and speech

biological splots into reading speed, piagetian reasoning, inductive reasoning

Q

what is fluid intelligence (Gf)

A

focuses on process independent of content or prior knowledge

declines in later life (bugg et al)

Q

what are eysenck’s hereditarian views on race

A

highly controversial - IQ is heritable, but there is no significant genetic determination of racial differences in IQ

Q

how does “gene environment matching” contribute to an IQ increase

A

people seek out environments that match their phenotype

therefore, environment increases genetic / biological ability

16
Q

how does averaging contribute to an IQ increase

A

as individuals’ ability rises, this will influence those around them

therefore population average will increase

17
Q

how does age change IQ

A

heritability increases with age

40% in childhood
60% in adulthood
80% in old age

18
Q

how does socio-economic status change IQ

A

heritability high for high SES
h2 = 72%

low for low SES
h2 - 10%
environment = 60%

19
Q

what may account for environmental effects on heritability of IQ

A

the age effect may represent a gene-environment correlation

high IQ people will seek high IQ contexts, and as they get older their intelligence will show

20
Q

what did sauce and matzel find regarding heritability and malleability of intelligence

A

some traits are genetically-determined with low heritability (heritability of fingers being 0 as main predictors are environmental)

some traits are highly heritable but not genetically determined

21
Q

what did mcdaniel find regarding brain volume and IQ

A

larger volume associated with higher IQ

22
Q

what is the P-FIT theory by jung and haier

A

represents intelligence through 4 set processes in the brain

step 1 - sensory information taken in

step 2 - symbolic processing of info

step 3 - reasoning and decision making

step 4 - making a decision

23
Q

what did chamorro-premuzic and furnham find regarding personality adding to IQ

A

conscientiousness explains an extra 27% of performance on uni exams

24
Q

what are gardner’s 7 intelligences

A

logical-mathematical - scientist / mathematician

linguistic - poet / journalist

musical

spatial - navigator

bodily-kinesthetic - dancer

interpersonal - therapist

intrapersonal - accurate self-knowledge

25
Q

what is the 8th intelligence added later by gardner

A

naturalistic intelligence - human perceptiveness of natural world
