Study Notes
Intelligence and Cognitive Development
- The term used to describe the ratio between mental age and chronological age is Intelligence Quotient (IQ).
- The IQ range of 120-140 falls under the 'Very Superior' category in the Stanford-Binet classification.
- The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) primarily focuses on verbal comprehension, visual-spatial skills, working memory, and processing speed.
Jean Piaget's Theory
- Intelligence is defined as an evolving biological adaptation to the environment according to Jean Piaget.
- Object permanence develops in the sensorimotor stage (0-2 years) in Piaget's theory of cognitive development.
- The concrete operational stage (7-11 years) is characterized by a child's ability to think logically about concrete objects and understand conservation.
- The ability to reason abstractly and think in hypothetical terms is termed Formal Operational Thought in Piaget's theory.
- The concept of equilibrium involves the balance between accommodation and assimilation in Piaget's theory of cognitive development.
History and Research
- Alfred Binet is known as the father of IQ testing.
- Recent studies suggest that intelligence can start to decline at around 60 years of age.
- Édouard Séguin provided the first accurate description of mental retardation as a separate entity from insanity.
- Research estimates that around 40-50% of intelligence heritability comes from the mother.
