Q

Who are the 10 major theorists of Intelligence?

A
  1. Galton - First to publish on the heritability of intelligence. Believed sensory ability was the core of intelligence
  2. Binet - Believed that intelligence was comprised of reasoning, judgement, memory and abstraction

  4. Piaget - Intelligence is an evolving biological adaptation to the outside world. Stages of Development
  5. Spearman - 2 Factor Theory of Intelligence
  6. Guildford (1967) tried to elliminate g.
  7. Thurstone (1938) conceptualised 7 primary abilities
  8. Gardner (1983, 1995) mutliple intelligences
  9. Cattell - Fluid and Crystalised Intelligence

Q

Hernstein & Murray (1994) The Bell Curve identifies 4 features of Intelligence. They are;

A
  1. IQ is a strong predictor of achievement (school and career)
  2. IQ is highly heritable, and is scarcely influenced by environment
  3. Racial differences in IQ are largely due to genetics
  4. Education has little impact on IQ

Q

How is the WAIS diff from the Stanford Binet?

A
  1. Test/ Retest is different
  2. Chronological Age

Q

There are 8 current trends in intelligence research (over the past 5-15 years). What are they?
