What is fluid intelligence?
cattle and horn
Reasoning quickly, abstract, declines in adulthood – independent of education
What is crystallized intelligence? ( cattle and horn )
Knowledge and skills over lifetime, it increases with age – learning logic stills and cognitive skills
What is Charles Spearman’s G factor?
Used affect her nails is and discovered that what we see as many different skills is actually one general intelligence
If you’re good at one subject, you’re good at many
What is Howard Gardners multiple intelligence concept?
Seven types of intelligence: Linguistic Logical – mathematical Spatial Musical Body – kinesthetic Intrapersonal Interpersonal Naturalist
What is intelligence quotient?
A child’s mental age divided by chronic logical age multiplied by 100 – computing the IQ
What does a percentile score mean?
It indicates the percentage of people who score at or below the score one has obtained
What is test norms?
Tells where test scores rank in relations to other scores on the test, and allows you to convert your score into a percentile score
What is heritability ratio?
Statistical estimate of the proportion of the total variance in some trait that is attributable to genetic differences among individuals within a group
What is Sternberg’s triarchic theory?
Three types of intelligence: analytical, creative, practical
What intelligence theory is the most commonly accepted today?
Robert sternbergs triarchic theory
Who is Francis Galton?
Cousin of Charles Darwin
Success runs in families because of intelligence being passed from generation to generation
Created nature versus nurture
Created the bell curve in psychology, correlation, and percentile scoring
What is Spearman’s view of the intelligence?
That has to factory gnosis, and if a number variables correlate highly with one another the assumption is that there’s one main factor
What is the cognitive theory of intelligence?
Information processing studies that under on intelligence – Robert Sternberg
Triarchicary theory
What is standard deviation
Deviation IQ scores that locates subjects precisely within the normal distribution
What are deviation IQ scores?
Scores that locate subjects precisely within normal distribution, using standard deviation as the unit of measurement
What is a savant?
People who struggle socially and are. Really smart and some subjects
Disapproves spearman
What is construct validity?
The extent to which there is evidence that a test measures a particular hypothetical construct
What is convergent thinking?
Narrowing down a list of alternatives to converge on a single correct answer
What is correlation coefficient?
A numerical index of the degree of relationship between to variables
What is creativity?
The generation of ideas that are original, novel and useful
What is criterion-related validity?
Test validity that is estimated by correlating subjects’ scores on a test with their scores in an independent criterion (another measure) of that trait assessed by the test
What is divergent thinking?
Trying to expand the range of alternatives by generating many possible solutions
What is factor analysis?
Method that uses the correlation among many variables to identify closely related clusters
What is mental retardation?
Subnormal general mental ability accompanied by deficiencies in everyday living skills originating prior to age 18
What is normal distribution?
A symmetric, bell-shaped curve that represents the pattern in which many characteristics are diapered in the population
