Q

Blank is the ability to perceive relationships among stimuli independently of previous specific practice or instruction concerning those relationships, draw inferences & comprehend their implications (test identifieying similarities). This is biologically based. Increase during childhood to early 20’s

16
Q

Blank is the degree to which variation in a particular trait within a particular population of individuals stems from genetic differences as opposed to environmental differences. This is estimated using biometrical genetics. THIS IS ONLY AN ESTIMATE.

A

Heritability

17
Q

Binet believed that BLANK increases with age across childhood and adolescence

A

intelligence

18
Q

The two types of items tested must be done with no class bias to be effective, they are:

A

completely novel content (not exposed to prior) and universally familiar content

19
Q

This intelligence test has 13 scales, created by Blank and tests both Adults and children with relatively simple questions.

A

Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) by David Wechsler

20
Q

Blank is a statisticular technique to identify the dimensions (specific abilities) needed to account for the intercorrelations among variables (scales)

A

21
Q

blank correlates to each other positively.

A

mental abilities

22
Q

mental abilities are

A

verbal comprehension, perceptual orgainization, processing speed and working memory

23
Q

Blank comprehension gets better with age.

A

Verbal

24
Q

These three mental abilites improve in younger age.

A

perceptual organization, processing speed and working memory

25
Q

blank adults are much quickerat learning new things but they don’t know as much as blank adults.

A

younger

older

26
Q

Binet described children’s intelligence using Blank

A

mental age

27
Q

Today we calculate IQ via blank. This is all representative to where you fall in terms of other people your age.

A

deviation IQ (based on normal distribution - 1 standard deviation=15 IQ pts)

28
Q

These are examples of Blank: IQ scores are hightly stable across time, IQ scores predict academic achievement and IQ scores predict job performance

A

Reliability of IQ

29
Q

IQ scores especially blank predict job performance in occupations that demand frequent processing of complex and novel information, such as Blank. But they are not very reliable for Blank type jobs.

all differences between people are due to differences in genes
