25
Interpersonal
Interact effectively with others
26
Intrapersonal
understand and possess insight into self
27
Naturalistic
recognize identify animals plants
28
Gardners theory issue
impossible to falsify also not clear why only certain abilities classify as intelligence/no good evidence that these intelligences are truly independent
29
Sternberg Theory
Triarchic Model
30
Analytical int
book smarts
31
creative int
creativity
32
practical int
street smarts
33
triarchic model weaknesses
practical intelligence is not independent of g/ casual relationship between job performance and practical intelligence is not clear
34
brain volume correlates positively with measured intelligence
but .3-.4 correlation dont explain everything, relationship may not be casual, evidence suggests cerebral cortex development is slower in gifted children
35
Intelligence may reflect of mental processing
higher intelligence quicker reaction times/ working memory is also closely related to intelligence
36
Prefrontal cortex is especially active
during highly g loaded task
37
norms in terms of iq
baseline scores in the general population from which we can compare each individual's score
38
mental age
Binet's concept, age corresponding to the average individual's performance on an intelligence test
39
intelligence quotient
mental age/chronological age
40
IQ Calculation
works for children but not adults
41
Deviation IQ
eliminates age effects compares each person's score to what is normal for his her age group
42
Abusing IQ tests
eugenics movement: forcible sterilization and immigration laws
43
The most commonly used IQ test
Wechsler Adult intelligence scale
44
WAIS contains 15 subtests and 5 scores:
Overall IQ Verbal comprehension Perceptual Reasoning Working Memory Processing speed
45
Culture fair IQ tests
consist of abstract reasoning items that dont depend on language
46
Mental retardation
Mild (50-70) %85 Moderate (35-50)%10 Severe (20-35) %4 Profound (20 and below) %1
47
Gifted
Moderately gifted (130 138) Highly gifted 138 145 exceptionally gifted (145-152) Profoundly Gifted (152-160)

WAIS 1997 classification

IQ Test
61
norms created by
Terman
62
College admissions tests
to test overall competence in a specific domain or predict academic success / they correlate .7 .8 with IQ
63
Most common mental retardation
Fragile X syndrome and Down syndrome
64
Termites (prodigies)
do not burn out or do not have more mental illness
65
Jensens poverty study
lack of nutrition may lead lower IQ
66
Flynn effect
Iq of the population is increasing over the years complexity nutrition etc
67
males are more
variable than women in terms of intelligence (high and low scores)
68
Within group vs between group heritability
equal environments show equal IQ
69
difference do not appear to be due to
test bias on intelligence tests
70
Stereotype threat
can be activated in the lab but may not generalize to real world
71
divergent thinking
outside the box
72
convergent thinking
finding the single best answer to a problem
73
emotional intelligence
understand our own and others emotions may not predict job performance beyond general IQ
