Module 31: Intelligence
Module 31: Intelligence Intelligence Certain aptitude for certain subjects: language, science, art, music Ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use our knowledge to adapt to new situations Intelligence measure depends on the subject tested Hard to define because we are trying to make it a trait but it is really more abstract than that Reification: giving trait-like qualities to something that is not a trait General Intelligence The idea that general intelligence (g) exists comes from the work of Charles Spearman who helped develop the factor analysis approach in statistics
