◉Raymond B. Cattell - intelligence. Answer: said that cognitive
ability consists of -fluid intelligence (reasoning and problem solving)
and
-crystallized intelligence (specific knowledge gained by applying
fluid intelligence).
He also agreed that a g-factor does exist.
◉Robert Sternberg - intelligence. Answer: The triarchic theory
which says intelligence consists of three components: -
processing/analytic components (strategies to solve problems), -
contextual/practical components (applying intelligence to everyday
problems), and -experimental/creative components (intelligence is
modified by experiences, etc.)
◉Howard Gardner - intelligence. Answer: multiple intelligences
which has seven components of intelligence which not everyone has
equally. The intelligence are linguistic, logical-mathematical,
,musical, spacial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal,
and naturalistic.
◉intelligence quotient (IQ). Answer: mental age divided by
chronological age multiplied by 100 (to eliminate the decimal point)
◉mental age (MA). Answer: a chronological age that corresponds to
a given level of performance on an intelligence test (comparable to
test takers of the same age)
Alfred Binet was the first to develop an intelligence test.
◉IQ scores. Answer:

mentally defective → borderline range → below average → average
(100) → above average → superior → very superior
standard deviation of 15 points
◉Stanford-Binet, WAIS-R, WPPSI-R, WISC-III. Answer: intelligence

, ◉Bayley Scales of Infant Intelligence. Answer: A standardized
measure of infant's mental, motor, and behavioral development. (for

but does not predict a future IQ score)
◉terminal drop. Answer: a rapid decline in intellectual performance
shortly before a person's death
◉emotional intelligence (EQ). Answer: by Goleman. The ability to
perceive, understand, manage, and use emotions/handle emotional
situations. (self awareness, self management, social awareness, and

◉creativity. Answer: the ability to produce something new and
unique that combines elements in new ways (somewhat correlated
to intelligence but not really)
◉divergent thinking. Answer: the ability to present many different
ideas, answers, or solution strategies to solve a problem (important
in creativity, but this is not always used to be creative)
◉convergent thinking. Answer: one correct answer is expected
