It is the ability to reason about emotions and to process emotional information to enhance cognitive processes and regulate behavior.

53
Q

What is Critique of the Salovey and Mayer Model?

the model introduces concepts like “flexible planning” and “redirected attention,” which can be challenging to define precisely

54
Q

Self-awareness: Knowing one’s emotions
Self-regulation: Managing Emotions
Motivation: Motivating oneself
Empathy: Recognizing Emotions in others
Social skills: Handling relationships

55
Q

What does the Mixed Model state?

A

Emotional Intelligence (EI) serves as an overarching term for a wide array of personality traits and characteristics that have been identified as predictors of success in both professional and personal aspects of daily life
-> stands as the only one for which empirical evidence and research findings have been systematically reported

56
Q

What is EI according to the Mixed Model?

A

perceived abilities, skills, personality traits and the perception of his/her ability

57
Q

What is the main point of Mayer and Salovey’s model?

A

emotional intelligence is primarily rooted in a person’s ability to recognize, understand and effectively manage emotions
-> high EI - can perceive their own emotions and those of others - signifies and handles them appropriately

58
Q

What is the main point of the Bar-on Model?

A

emotional intelligence includes a broad range of non-cognitive capabilities, competencies and skills
-> goes beyond merely understanding emotions and involves developing emotional, social and adaptive skills
-> ability to confront and adapt complex and ever-changing life situations

59
Q

How does the focus differ in Mayer and Salovey’s model to Bar-On?

A

Mayer and Salovey’s focus is on understanding and managing emotions
Bar-On expands perspective to include a more diverse set of skills and competencies

60
Q

What does the most prominent finding from brain-imaging studies state?

A

a distributed neural network involving the frontal and parietal lobes is related to higher intelligence

61
Q

What is the difference between woman’s and man’s brain?

A

Woman’s brains have a higher gray ratio (thinking) than white matter (electromagnetic impulses)
Woman have higher corpus callosum
-> facilitates the interaction between the two cerebral hemispheres

62
Q

Did Albert Einstein had a huge brain?

A

No, his brain size was average BUT a region of his brain’s partial lobe (very active in processing math and partial information) was 15% larger than average

63
Q

What is a higher level of intelligence linked to?

A

distributed neural network in the frontal and parietal lobes

64
Q

What are functions of the frontal lobe?

A

executive functions:
planning, monitoring, sustained attention, problem-solving, decision-making, working memory

65
Q

What are functions of the parietal lobe?

A

sensory information:
sensory processing (touch, pressure, pain,etc.), transmits information to other brain regions, recognition of object placing, body control, processing somatic sensations, coordination of visual auditory and somatosensory stimuli, body awareness

66
Q

What are the functions of the occipital lobe?

A
  • Mapping the visual world: involve spatial reasoning and visual memory, ‘scanning’ visual field requires recalling what we just saw
  • Determining color properties, size, distance and depth
  • Transmitting visual information to other brain regions in order to encode memories, give meaning to stimuli, appropriate motor and linguistic responses
    -> constantly respond to information external world
67
Q

What are the Functions of the temporal lobe?

A
  • Auditory processing
  • Production of speech -> dysfunction in brain area can lead to difficulties speaking (anomie)
  • Recognition of familiar faces and objects
  • Recognition of language -> key for hearing and understanding speech, giving meaning to language -> dysfunctions can lead to difficulties in naming objects
  • interpreting the meaning of visual stimuli: understanding what it is you are seeing, READING body language
68
Q

What is prosopagnosia?

A

Recognition of familiar faces and objects

69
Q

What is Anomie?

A

difficulties speaking due to a dysfunction in the temporal lobe
-> even when other structures are intact or you can consciously think about what you want to say

70
Q

What also links to intelligence to a lesser extent than the frontal/parietal network?

A

the temporal and occipital lobes as well as the cerebellum

71
Q

What does the Current consensus state?

A

Intelligence is likely to be distributed across brain regions rather than being localized in a specific region such as the frontal lobes

72
Q

What do children who are ‘gifted’ have?

A

above-average intelligence (usually defined as an IQ of 130 or higher) and or superior talent in some domain (art, music, mathematics)

73
Q

What are standards for children who are gifted in schools based on? What do recent studies start to contemplate as other factors related to giftedness?

A

Standards in schools:
1. Intelligence
2. Academic aptitude
Other factors:
1. Creativity
2. Commitment

74
Q

What do some critics argue about gifted programs in school?

A

too many children in “gifted programs” are not truly gifted. These children are often somewhat bright, cooperative, and usually non-Latino White, raising concerns about equity and the selection criteria used for these programs.

75
Q

There are 3 characteristics of children who are gifted, which ones? What is the 4th domain according to Ambrose and Sternberg?

A

Precocity
Their learning process is qualitatively different
They have a passion to m aster
4th domain: information processing

76
Q

What is Precocity in the context of gifted children?

A

refers to gifted children who are able to master concepts in a specific field better than their peers
-> learn quickly with little effort

77
Q

How is the learning process of gifted children qualitatively different from others?

A

they often require less support or scaffolding from adults and my resist explicit instructions
-> tend to make unique discoveries and solve problems in unconventional ways

78
Q

What characterizes the passion for mastery in gifted children?

A

they display an intense, obsessive interest and an exceptional ability to focus
-> often high level of intrinsic motivation, driving them to master their area of interest with dedication and perseverance

79
Q

What is the fourth domain of information processing according to Ambrose & Sternberg in gifted children?

A

process information more rapidly, are better at reasoning, use more effective strategies and guide their understanding process better than non-gifted children

80
Q

What does Giftedness consist of?

A

an interaction among three basic clusters of human traits
