8818309454	normal curve (normal distribution)	symmetrical, bell shaped curve that describes the distribution of many types of data most scores fall near the mean	25

8818309456	95%	Amount of people with IQs between 70 and 130 (two SD of the mean)	27
8818309457	The Flynn Effect	intelligence scores have risen throughout the last 100 years or so (due to environment)	28
8818309458	reliability	when it yields consistant results	29
8818309459	split- half reliability	dividing the test into two equal halves and assessing how consistent the scores are	30
8818309460	alternate-forms reliability	using different varieties of the test to measure consistency between them	31
8818309461	test-retest reliability	using the same test on two occasions to measure consitency	32
8818309462	validity	the extent to which a test measures what it is supposed to meaure	33
8818309463	content validity	extent to which a test accurately measure the subject intended to measure (entirety, breadth, etc.)	34
8818309464	predictive validity	the extent to which test score forecasts future behaviors or results	35
8818309465	criterion validity	scores on a particular test are positively correlated with scores on another existing and well established test (criterion) of the same skill, trait, ability	36
8818309466	crystallized intelligence	our accumulated knowledges reflected in vocabulary and analogies tests increases with age	37
8818309467	fluid intelligence	our ability to reason speedily and abstractly, as when solving novel logic problems decreases with age	38
