3006PSY UPDATED FINAL EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT
ANSWERS
What is the difference between the lay public and expert definitions of
intelligence? - CORRECT ANSWER-experts have more narrow defintion that is
driven by motivation.
Lay people have more broad defintion that is driven by intrapersonal aspects but
their definitions change over the course of development.
they both defined problem solving, verbal ability and social competence as
important.
What are lay theories of intelligence and what are they affected by? - CORRECT
ANSWER-They reflect personal definitions and assumptions about IQ.
They emphasis interpersonal skills + perspective taking + social competence.
they are affected by age of person, background and culture.
What is the history of the expert intelligence definitions? - CORRECT ANSWER-1)
Galton: higher intelligence = higher sensory abilities.
2) Binet: disagreed. said multiple components of intelligence. reasoning,
judgement, memory and abstraction.
3) weschler: intelligence includes verbal and perfromance abilities.
3006PSY UPDATED FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
,4) piaget: intelligence evolving bio adaption to outside world.
5) spearman: said IQ tests had overlap (general intellectual ability "g")
6) Gardner: said traditional IQ tests only measured subset of intelligence. said
there were multiple intelligence.
What is Gardners theory of multiple intelligence? - CORRECT ANSWER-includes
1) body kinetics
2) musical intelligence
3) intrapersonal intelligence
4) interpersonal intelligence
5) naturalistic intelligence
What would we consider a general defintion of intelligence? - CORRECT ANSWER-
intelligence is a multifacet capacity that includes that ability too
1) acquire knowledge
2) reason logically and plan effectively
3) grape and visualise concepts
4) find right words and thoughts
5) cope and adjust to novel situations
what is interactionalism? - CORRECT ANSWER-it is a complex concept by which
hereditary and environment are presumed to interact with and influence
development of intelligence.
3006PSY UPDATED FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
,Why is it important to know the structure of intelligence? - CORRECT ANSWER-to
devise appropriate measures, evaluate measures, and ensure assessment covers
construct sufficiently.
What is factor analysis and what are the two types? - CORRECT ANSWER-It was
invented by Pearson in 1901 and further developed by spearman in 1904.
it is a family of statistical techniques used to examine correlations among
variables, items and or tests.
the two types include
1) exploratory factor analysis = used when want to know the structure
2) confirmatory factor analysis = used when want to confirm structure with a
different sample.
this played a powerful role in shaping 20th-century development and
understanding of the structure of intelligence.
What is exploratory factor analysis? - CORRECT ANSWER-it identifies underlying
dimensions in data. for example, how many personality factors are there, or does
intelligence consist of one factor or more?
it investigates correlations among variables and groups them together to create
factors.
for example item 1 (sociability), item 2 (outgoing), and item 3 (optimism)
correlate with each other. therefore they are factor 1 (Extraversion) etc.
3006PSY UPDATED FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
, How do 1st order, 2nd order and third order factors differ? - CORRECT ANSWER-
1st order factors = individual items
2nd order factors = correlation groups of individual items.
3rd order factors = correlation between 2nd order factors.
How can we work out how many factor there are in factor analysis based off of a
correlation table? - CORRECT ANSWER-Look at what items are correlated together
(e.g. being talkative and being social). If they are correlated they will be a factor
(e.g. extraversion).
What are fluid and crystallised intelligence? - CORRECT ANSWER-Fluid intelligence
(Gc)
- is the ability to solve new problems, use logic in new situations, and identify
patterns
- largely non-verbal and culture reduced form of mental efficiency.
- It stays the same in cognitively healthy people.
Crystallised intelligence (Gc)
- the ability to use learned knowledge and experience.
- Highly culturally dependent and used for tasks that require a learned response.
- peaks in 30s.
What was the extension of catell and horns model? - CORRECT ANSWER-The
extension included an extended number of second tier factors but still no g.
