| mental quality consisting of the ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations | ||
| a statistical procedure that identifies clusters of related items (called factors) on a test; used to identify different dimensions of performance that underlie one's total score | ||
| a general intelligence factor that according to Spearman and others underlies specific mental abilities and is therefore measured by every task on an intelligence test | ||
| a condition in which a person otherwise limited in mental ability has an exceptional specific skill, such as in computation or drawing | ||
| according to Sternberg, a type of intelligence that is assessed by intelligence tests, which present well-defined problems having a single right answer | ||
| according to Sternberg, a type of intelligence that is demonstrated in reacting adaptively to novel situations and generating novel ideas | ||
| according to Sternberg, a type of intelligence that is often required for everyday tasks, which are frequently ill-defined, with multiple solutions | ||
| intelligence theory that a basic intelligence predicts our abilities in varied academic subjects | ||
| intelligence theory that our intelligence may be broken down into 7 factors: word fluency, verbal comprehension, spatial ability, perceptual speed, numerical ability, inductive reasoning, and memory | ||
| intelligence theory that our abilities are best classified into 8 independent intelligences, which include a broad range of skills beyond traditional school smarts | ||
| intelligence theory that our intelligence is best classified into 3 areas that predict our real-world success: analytical, creative, and practical | ||
| the ability to perceive, understand, manage, and use emotions | ||
| a method of assessing an individual's mental aptitudes and comparing them with those of others, using numerical scores | ||
| a measure of intelligence test performance devised by Binet; the chronological age that most typically corresponds to a given level of performance | ||
| the widely used American revision of Binet's original intelligence test | ||
| defined originally as the ratio of mental age (ma) to chronological age (ca) multiplied by 100; on contemporary intelligence tests, the average performance for a given age is assigned a score of 100 | ||
| a test designed to predict a person's future performance | ||
| a test designed to assess what a person has learned | ||
| the most widely used intelligence test; contains verbal and performance subtests | ||
| defining meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested standardization group | ||
| the symmetrical bell-shaped curve that describes the distribution of many physical and psychological attributes | ||
| the extent to which a test yields consistent results, as assessed by the consistency of scores on two halves of the test, on alternate forms of the test, or on retesting | ||
| the extent to which a test measures or predicts what it is supposed to | ||
| the extent to which a test samples the behavior that is of interest (such as a driving test that samples driving tasks) | ||
| the behavior (such as future college grades) that a test (such as the SAT) is designed to predict; thus the measure used in defining whether the test has predictive validity | ||
| the success with which a test predicts the behavior it is designed to predict; it is assessed by computing the correlation between test scores and criterion behavior | ||
| a condition of limited mental ability, indicated by an intelligence score of 70 or below and difficulty in adapting to the demands of life; varies from mild to profound | ||
| a condition of retardation and associated physical disorders caused by an extra chromosome in one's genetic makeup | ||
| a self-confirming concern that one will be evaluated based on a negative stereotype |
