Q

What is the PASS theory of intelligence?

A

4 main processes in intelligence:

Planning
Attention
Simultaneous - intergrating concepts
Successive - organising stimuli into a sequence

17
Q

What is the reliability and validity of the CAS cognitive test?

A

High reliability as readings were the same after 4 weeks

High predictive validity on academic performance

18
Q

How much of IQ is based on genetics?

A

40-80%

Highly debated

19
Q

How much of IQ is based on shared environment?

A

20-40% in childhood but 0 in adulthood

20
Q

Apart from genetics and shared environment, what other factors can affect IQ?

A

Prenatal factors
Early nutrition
School education
Birth order - eldest children get more resources

21
Q

What is the Mozart effect?

A

People did 8/9 points higher on an IQ test after listening to Mozart
Doesn’t reflect an increase in intelligence though

Q

What was Garner’s theory of intelligence?

A

There are 8 types of independent intelligence

23
Q

How does Garner’s intelligences correlate with G?

Interpersonal

Which supports the higherarchial structure, not that all intelligences are independent
