25
Q

According to the _____________________, intelligence has three aspects: analytical, creative, and practical

A

triarchic theory of intelligence

26
Q

__________________, also referred to as componential intelligence, refers to intelligence that is applied to analyze or evaluate problems and arrive at solutions. This is a traditional IQ test measure.

A

Analytical intelligence

27
Q

_____________________ is the ability to go beyond what is given to create novel and interesting ideas. This type of intelligence involves imagination, innovation and problem-solving.

A

Creative intelligence

28
Q

_____________________- is the ability that individuals use to solve problems faced in daily life, when a person finds the best fit between themselves and the demands of the environment. Adapting to the demands of the environment involves either utilizing knowledge gained from experience to purposefully change oneself to suit the environment (adaptation), changing the environment to suit oneself (shaping), or finding a new environment in which to work (selection).

A

Practical intelligence

Q

____________________ first proposed the concepts of fluid and crystallized intelligence and further developed the theory with __________________

A

Raymond Cattell, John Horn

30
Q

It is the ability to problem solve in novel situations without referencing prior knowledge, but rather through the use of logic and abstract thinking. Fluid intelligence can be applied to any novel problem because no specific prior knowledge is required

A

Fluid Intelligence

31
Q

It refers to the use of previously-acquired knowledge, such as specific facts learned in school or specific motor skills or muscle memory

A

Crystallized Intelligence

32
Q

The Cattell-Horn (1966) _______________________e suggests that intelligence is composed of a number of different abilities that interact and work together to produce overall individual intelligence

A

theory of fluid and crystallized intelligenc

33
Q

A ______________________ that combines the major aspects of Spearman’s theory of general intelligence (g) and Horn and Cattell’s theory of crystallized and fluid intelligence (Gf-Gc) has been proposed

Stratum III of THREE-STRATUM THEORY OF INTELLIGENCE

A

mental age

41
Q

The revised version of Binet-Simon scale. It is a contemporary assessment which measures intelligence according to five features of cognitive ability, including fluid reasoning, knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing and working memory. Both verbal and nonverbal responses are measured.

A

Stanford-BInet Intelligence Scale

42
Q

It is completely language free test of intelligence. It requires no speaking or shared understanding of language between the person administering the test and the person taking it.

A

Neuropsychology

44
Q

It is a compilation of neuropsychological tests designed to evaluate the functioning of the brain and nervous system in individuals aged 15 years and older. Although the test was designed as a tool to detect brain damage, it has shown to be effective in identifying impairment associated with head trauma, tumors, cerebro-vascular accidents, infections, degenerative diseases, learning disabilities, and specific neurological disorders.
