2428377637History of Intelligence Tests (6)1. Sir Francis Galton (1st) 2. Alfred Binet (Binet-Scale) 3. Lewis Terman (Stanford-Binet Scale) 4. David Wechsler (WAIS) 5. Spearman's G 6. L.L Thurstone & J.P Guilford16
2428492124Sir Francis GaltonFirst intelligence tests devised and coined the term "Nature vs. Nurture"17
2428497942Alfred Binet (1)Modern intelligence testing was launched in 1905 1. Mental Age (Binet-Scale)18
2428505385Mental Age (Binet-Scale)A childs mental ability typical of a child's chronological age19
2428515518Lewis TermanRevised the Binet-Scale to produce the Stanford-Binet Scales, introducing: IQ: Intelligence Quotient (mental age / chronological age x 100)20
2428526326David Wechsler (2)Published an improved measure of intelligence for adults; Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) 1. Normal Distribution 2. Deviation IQ21
2428538776Normal DistributionA symmetric, bell-shaped curve that represents the pattern of characteristics dispered among the population22
2428545126Deviation IQScores that locate subjects precisely within the normal distribution, using the SD as the unit of measurement`23
2428559970Spearman's G (3)He concluded that all cognitive abilities share a common core and is the most popular today 1. Factor Analysis 2. Fluid Intelligence 3. Crystallized Intelligence24
2428566606Factor AnalysisCorrelations among many variables are analyzed to identify schemas (organized clusters)25
2428595893Fluid IntelligenceInvolves reasoning ability, memory capacity, and speed of information processing26
2428603431Crystallized IntelligenceInvolves the ability to apply knowledge and skills in problem solving27
2428574813L.L Thurstone & J.P Guilford1. L.L: Primary Mental Abilities (7 Categories) 2. J.P: 150 Mental Abilities28
2428619111Essentials in Intelligence Testing> Scores fall in the normal distribution of IQ for their age > Mean Score = 100 & SD = 15 > Measure Intellect > Factual Knowledge (produces both) > High reliability & correlates w/ job attainment > IQ tests are not popular in non-Western cultures29
2428647571Extremes of Intelligence (2)1. Intellectual Disability 2. Giftedness30
2428661115Intellectual DisabilityRefers to the subaverage mental ability (IQ < 70) accompanied by deficits in adaptive skills, originating before age 18 > Types include; mild (85%), moderate(10%), severe/profound (4-6%)31
2428694109Giftedness (1)> IQ = 130 (typical minimum) > Above average in maturity (social/emotional) > Very few "genius's" make "genius-level-contribution" 1. Eminence32
2428724246EminenceHigh intelligence is only one of three requirements 1. Intelligence 2. Motivation 3. Creativity33
2428987915Heredity & Environment (3)1. Heredity Influence 2. Environmental Influence 3. Interaction of Heredity & Environment34
2429014185Heredity Influence (1)Twin studies suggest intelligence is partly inherited (identical twins IQ similarity (S) > fraternal twins IQ > Identical twins reared apart > fraternal twins together > Adopted children resemble their biological parents IQ > High Heredity = 80% & Low Heredity = 40% 1. Heritability Ratio35
2429059764Heritability RatioIs an estimate of the proportion of trait variability in a population that is determined by variations in genetic inheritance36
2429071495Environment Influence (4)1. Adoption 2. Environmental Deprivation 3. Environmental Enrichment 4. The Flynn Effect37
2429078776AdoptionStudies find that adopted children show IQ resemblance to their foster parents and to their adoptive siblings38
2429082913Environmental DeprivationStudies show that children raised in substandard circumstances tend to exhibit a gradual decline in IQ as they grow older39
2429085516Environmental EnrichmentStudies show that children who are moved to improved environments tend to exhibit increases in IQ40
2429115168The Flynn EffectGenerational increases in measured IQ are perplexing, but they must be due to environmental changes41
2429089981Interaction of Heredity and Environment (2)> Intelligence is clearly shaped by both heredity & environment (and they both interact) > Scientists are trying to identify specific genes linked with intelligence, but the process is slow, suggesting that intelligence may be shaped by 100's of genes that each have tiny effects 1. Reaction Range 2. Culture Differences in IQ42
2429100542Reaction RangeRefers to the genetically determined limits on IQ, while the environment shapes the rest43
2429104131Culture Differences in IQ (1)> Even if heritability of IQ = high, group differences in IQ could be entirely environmental in origin > Socioeconomic disadvantages and cultural bias on tests may contribute to cultural differences in IQ > Vulnerability to negative stereotypes can undermine test performance in minority groups 1. Arthur Jensen44
2429126735Arthur JensenHe and others have argued that cultural differences in IQ scores are largely heredity45
2429132507New Directions (3)> Interest in biological index's (brain & IQ) 1. Robert Sternberg (Triarchic Theory of Intelligence) 2. Howard Gardner (8 Types of Intelligence) 3. Emotional Intelligence46
2429196683Robert Sternberg (1)Triarchic Theory of Intelligence > Contextual Sub-theory: Culture > Experimental Sub-theory: Experience 1. Componential Sub-theory: Cognitive47
2429233868Componential Sub-Theory (1)Components: > Meta: Control/Monitor/Evaluate > Knowledge Acquisition: Encode/Combine/Compare 1. Performance: Execute Strategies48
2429244142Performance Components (Three Facets of Intelligence)*Successful Intelligence* (requires these 3) 1. Practical Intelligence: Deal effectively with problems 2. Creative Intelligence: Generate new ideas 3. Analytic Intelligence: Abstract reasoning & judgement49
2429254098Howard GardnerEight Intelligences 1. Logical-Mathematical: Scientist 2. Linguistic: Writer 3. Musical: Musician 4. Spatial: Navigator 5. Bodily-Kinesthetic: Athlete 6. Interpersonal: Therapist 7. Intrapersonal: Detailed/Accurate Self-Knowledge 8. Naturalist: Biologist50
2429254099Emotional IntelligenceConsists of the ability to (1)perceive and (2)express emotion, (3)assimilate emotion in thought, (4)understand and (5)reason with emotion, and (6)regulate emotion51
2429271461Key Themes1. Psychology evolves around a sociohistorical context 2. Heredity and environment jointly shape behaviour 3. Behaviour is shaped by one's cultural heritage52
