Viewing intelligence as a single, general ability that influences performance across different cognitive tasks. This theory suggests that people possess a certain level of overall intelligence, which can be measured and compared.

This theory proposes that intelligence is composed of a limited set of core abilities, such as verbal fluency, spatial reasoning, and memory. Each ability contributes to overall intelligence, but they are distinct and can be measured separately.

This theory views intelligence as a complex interplay of many different cognitive processes, such as attention, memory, planning, and problem-solving. This perspective emphasizes that intelligence is not just about general abilities but about how effectively these processes work together.

A numerical representation of a person's cognitive abilities, typically measured using standardized intelligence tests. The score reflects the individual's performance compared to a larger population.

IQ scores are influenced by a combination of genetic predispositions, environmental factors, and personal qualities. Heredity plays a role, but the quality of early childhood experiences, social contexts, and even the child's own characteristics have significant impacts.

This theory proposes that intelligence is not singular but encompasses multiple independent intelligences, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic.

This theory emphasizes three distinct aspects of intelligence: analytical, creative, and practical. Analytical intelligence involves problem-solving, creative intelligence focuses on generating novel ideas, and practical intelligence deals with adapting to real-world situations.

A learning disorder that primarily affects reading. Individuals with dyslexia struggle with decoding words, identifying patterns, and understanding language.

This theory explains the strong emotional bond formed between a child and their primary caregiver, typically a parent. It highlights the crucial role of this bond in shaping the child's emotional development and social interactions.

Researchers use various methods to assess the quality of the attachment bond, including the Strange Situation Procedure, which involves observing a child's reactions to separation from and reunion with their caregiver.
