How much do you know about cognitive development and intelligence?

Study Notes

Cognitive development involves acquiring abilities to understand and control the environment.
Cognitive development enhances a child's intelligence, which is the ability to comprehend, learn, and use knowledge to solve problems and adapt.
Intelligence is closely related to other cognitive processes such as attention, memory, thinking, and perception.
Intelligence is traditionally measured through standardized tests, which provide information on various aspects of a child's cognitive, emotional, and social development.
These tests should be administered by psychologists and educators can use the results to identify areas for improvement in a child's learning.
Classic theorists like Binet, Terman, and Cattle believed that intelligence could be measured through quantifiable standardized tests and introduced concepts like mental age and intelligence quotient (IQ).
Newer theories like Gardner's multiple intelligences and Goleman's emotional intelligence have gained acceptance among researchers.
Gardner defines intelligence as the ability to solve problems and create valuable products in one or more cultures.
Gardner's theory suggests that intelligence is not just innate but can be developed through interaction with the environment.
Educators can use Gardner's theory to identify and develop a child's strengths in various areas of intelligence.
