intelligence - correct ans:multifaceted, functional, and culturally defined
,interperson intelligence - correct ans:not all people are equally intelligent
intraperson intelligence - correct ans:not all people are intelligent at all things
psychometric approach - correct ans:uses factor analysis to determine the underlying skills. there are a
different number of factors depending on the type of factor analysis used
factor analysis - correct ans:psychometric - statistically analyse whether one score (e.g., verbal
reasoning) is related to another score (e.g., receptive language). if correlated, they have a comparable
underlying skill. once a factor (multiple items that correlate) is identified, we try to work out how they
are related
Two factor - correct ans:_____________ theory of intelligence - psychometric - Charles Spearman used
factor analysis to look at correlations between performance on multiple tests - suggested that
intelligence consists of two factors - a "g" and an "s" factor
g - correct ans:spearmans two factor theory - arithmetical ability, general knowledge and vocabulary
S - correct ans:spearmans two factor theory - specific abilities unique to particular tests - explains intra-
person difference
Thurstone - correct ans:psychometric - 7 primary mental abilities, rejected the idea of 'g' (general
intelligence)
mental abilities - correct ans:thurstones __________________ - verbal comprehension, verbal fluency,
numerical ability, spatial ability, memory, perceptual speed, inductive reasoning
Gf Gc - correct ans:___________ theory of intelligence - psychometric - there are two general
intelligence factors - fluid intelligence (Gf) and crystallised intelligence (Gc)
GF intelligence - correct ans:Gf-Gc theory - fluid intelligence - reasoning, memory and processing speed
,GC intelligence - correct ans:Gf-Gc theory - crystallised intelligence - store and application of knowledge
information processing theory - correct ans:focuses on three variables - speed of processing, knowledge
base, and ability to acquire and apply cognitive strategies
speed of processing - correct ans:variable in information processing theory - intelligent people as
'quick'., correlates to iq, tests of mental quickness
knowledge base - correct ans:variable in information processing theory - amount of knowledge,
organisation, and accessibility for retrieval; have well developed schemas to support encoding and
retrieval
acquire and apply cognitive strategies - correct ans:ability to _______________________ - variable in
information processing theory - cognitive strategies help solve tasks
biological theory - correct ans:__________ theory of intelligence - evolutionary perspective - intelligence
is a trait that allows for behavioural flexibility. some brains may function more efficiently than others
triarchic - correct ans:__________ theory of intelligence - contemporary approach - three factors for
'successful intelligence' - analytic intelligence, creative intelligence, practical intelligence
analytic intelligence - correct ans:triarchic theory of intelligence - the ability typically measured by
intelligence tests - like reasoning and evaluation - crucial for academic success
creative intelligence - correct ans:triarchic theory of intelligence - use of experience in ways that foster
insight, generate new ideas
practical intelligence - correct ans:triarchic theory of intelligence - ability to read and adapt to the
contexts of everyday life, ability to tackle everyday life problems, tacit knowledge
tacit knowledge - correct ans:implicit knowledge needed to work in an environment (e.g., time
management)
, multiple intelligences - correct ans:theory of _________________ - contemporary approach - Theory
that everyone has a variety of intelligences that are used in combination to solve problems and perform
tasks (Gardner). explains how people can be intelligent in one area but not another, recognises cultural
context
criticisms of multiple intelligence theory - correct ans:multiple intelligences or multiple talents?., lacks
experimental support
contemporary - correct ans:________ theories of intelligence - sternberg (triarchic) incorperates
analytical, practical and creative dimensions of intelligence. Gardner proposed nine intelligences
physiognomy - correct ans:the art of judging human character from facial features
Phrenology - correct ans:the detailed study of the shape and size of the cranium as a supposed
indication of character and mental abilities.
Galton - correct ans:believed that intelligence was hereditary, and intelligence was linked to the senses
Binet Simon Scale - correct ans:the first test of intelligence, developed for testing children. measured
language skills, comprehension, reasoning, memory, and digit span
intelligence quotient - correct ans:defined originally as the ratio of mental age (ma) to chronological age
(ca) multiplied by 100 [thus, IQ = (ma/ca) x 100]. On contemporary intelligence tests, the average
performance for a given age is assigned a score of 100. includes fluid reasoning, knowledge, quantitative
reasoning, visual-spatial processing, working memory
WAIS - correct ans:the WAIS is the most widely used intelligence test; contains verbal and performance
(nonverbal) subtests
WISC - correct ans:Test ages 6-16, measures verbal and performance abilities. Pinpoints a child's
strengths and help diagnose specific problems.
