6191589086	normal curve (normal distribution)	symmetrical, bell shaped curve that describes the distribution of many types of data most scores fall near the mean	26

6191624369	95%	Amount of people with IQs between 70 and 130 (two SD of the mean)	28
6191589088	The Flynn Effect	intelligence scores have risen throughout the last 100 years or so (due to environment)	29
6191589089	reliability	when it yields consistant results	30
6191589090	split- half reliability	dividing the test into two equal halves and assessing how consistent the scores are	31
6191589091	alternate-forms reliability	using different varieties of the test to measure consistency between them	32
6191589092	test-retest reliability	using the same test on two occasions to measure consitency	33
6191589093	validity	the extent to which a test measures what it is supposed to meaure	34
6191589094	content validity	extent to which a test accurately measure the subject intended to measure (entirety, breadth, etc.)	35
6191589095	predictive validity	the extent to which test score forecasts future behaviors or results	36
6191589096	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	37
6191589097	cohort	a group of people from a given time period (longitudinal study)	38
6191589098	crystallized intelligence	our accumulated knowledges reflected in vocabulary and analogies tests increases with age	39
