How is Intelligence Defined?
|
-Ability to solve problems
-Ability to bring different things together in your mind to produce something new -The ability to learn new complex material quickly -Ability to go beyond the obvious or resist automatic response tendancies (dominant behaviors) |
|
|
1st intelligence test
(Alfred Binet) |
Different comprehension abilities in abstract tests and tasks
-> create a profile = mult that make up someone's character |
|
|
The Wechsler Test
|
tasks specific to different parts of the Brain
|
|
|
G power
|
the general ability for all tasks
natural basic ability |
|
|
S powers
|
Specialties for each tasks
enhanced ability built on G abilities |
|
|
Fluid Intelligence
|
Raven's Cattell's
-Finding something that fits the rules of a pattern -Can get lost in mult. steps for sequence -Words: Detecting relationship (confusing because of 2 negatives, 1 hidden positive) -Doesn't have to do with Learning but making Sense |
|
|
Crystallized Intelligence
|
Arithmetic
Word Definitions (must have acquired specific ability or knowledge) -Reflects cumulative experience |
|
|
Aging Effects on Intelligence
|
-Fluid goes downhill over time
-Crystalized stays constant or increases over time |
|
|
What point in life do people make their peak performance?
|
-Arts= biologically based, fluid = peak early= die early
-Scholar/Science=crystal=peaks later constantly=die later |
|
|
When performance is assessed across large variety of intellectual tasks in particular samples
|
D) all task pairs show at least some degree of positive correlation
|
|
|
Where in Spearman's Model would be a place for effect of experience on intelligence performance
|
B) Experience would affect ability for specific "S"
|
|
|
Correlation between IQ and Behavior
|
High correlation:
-can predict grades, and how you go through life (general trend, job performance) |
|
|
Stereotype Threat
|
Knowing the stereotype you fit into causes you to fit into that stereotype... puts idea in brain
|
|
|
Working Memory
|
Capacity shown by fluid intelligence ability and ability to focus
|
|
|
IQ Tests probly reflect
|
B) g and non-intellectual factor
|
|
|
How much Intelligence Determined by Genetics
|
Matters where/what population
-If all environments were pure (like Sweden) genetic variation would matter 100% but in places that rely on social status and other S factors more than G factors, genetics matter less |
|
|
Twin Testing
|
1) if you know 100% of fraternal twin A= 45% about twin B
2)100% about Identical TwinA=80% identical twin B |
|
|
Differences Between Groups
|
-Non Genetic = differences from Soil Types
-Genetic = differences within same type of soil |
|
|
SES?
|
High =moving to sweden, equal oppurtunity
high ses= high genetic impact |
|
|
