Psych Assessment Flashcards
Spearman’s (1927) two-factor theory was derived from _____ and distinguishes between a ______ and numerous ____.
factor analysis; general intellectual factor (g); specific factors (s)
Horn and Cattell’s theory of intelligence
describes intelligence as consisting of two major factors that are distinct but not entirely independent: Crystallized intelligence (Gc) depends on prior learning and experience and is important for tasks that require the application of acquired knowledge and skills . Fluid intelligence (Gf) is the inherent aspect of intelligence. It represents the basic capacity to learn and does not depend on prior learning or experience.
Carroll’s Three-Stratum Theory
Stratum III is general intelligence (g) which contributes to all other cognitive abilities; stratum II consists of eight broad abilities [e.g., crystallized intelligence (Gc), fluid intelligence (Gf), short-term memory (Gsm)]; and stratum I consists of numerous specific abilities that are each linked to one of the stratum II abilities.
Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) Theory of Cognitive Abilities
distinguishes between 16 broad cognitive abilities and over 80 narrow cognitive abilities that are each linked to one of the broad abilities.
Das, Naglieri, and Kirby’s PASS Theory of Intelligence
It’s based on the assumption that intelligence is composed of four interdependent functions that interact with a person’s knowledge: planning, attention, simultaneous processing, and sequential processing.
Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences
based on the assumption that all people possess at least nine intelligences that are mediated by different areas of the brain, are relatively independent, and vary from person to person in terms of strength: linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, and existential.
Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory of Successful Intelligence
Analytical intelligence is comparable to general intelligence (g) and consists of knowledge-acquisition and information-processing skills that are used to analyze, evaluate, and critique information.
Creative intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge and information-processing skills to novel problems and unfamiliar situations.
practical intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge and information-processing skills to everyday tasks and situations
Flynn Effect
IQ scores increased by about 3 points per decade throughout the 20th century in both developed and developing countries, with the increase being most robust for measures of fluid intelligence.
