The ability to organize and integrate new experiences into existing knowledge. It is a central cognitive function that helps us make sense of the world.

The ability to think abstractly, learn from experience, solve problems through reasoning, adapt to new situations, and focus abilities to achieve goals.

A statistical factor that represents general intelligence, common to all types of intellectual activity. It's like a global IQ.

Specific factors that are unique to individual problems. For example, musical intelligence is a specific factor.

A theory that intelligence consists of eight distinct abilities, including linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, and spatial.

The ability to use language effectively, including reading, writing, and speaking.

A form of intelligence testing where the scores are based on how well a person performs compared to others their same age.

A set of cognitive abilities that are measured by the Wechsler intelligence scales. They include verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed.

A phenomenon where IQ scores have been rising over time for each generation. This could be due to better nutrition, increased access to education, and other factors.

A situation where a person's IQ scores significantly differ between verbal and performance domains. This might indicate learning difficulties or cultural influences, making the overall IQ score less reliable.
