Study Notes
Types of Intelligence
- There are two types of intelligence: fluid intelligence (Gf) and crystallized intelligence (Gc)
- Fluid intelligence is innate and acquired through environmental interactions
- Crystallized intelligence is acquired through cultural influences
Thurstone's Primary Mental Abilities
- Louis Thurstone identified seven primary mental abilities that comprise intelligence:
- Verbal comprehension
- Verbal fluency
- Number facility
- Spatial visualization
- Perceptual speed
- Memory
- Inductive reasoning
Multiple Intelligences (Gardner)
- Howard Gardner proposed that there is no single intelligence, but rather distinct, independent multiple intelligences
- Initially seven multiple intelligences were identified:
- Linguistic
- Logical-mathematical
- Spatial
- Musical
- Bodily-kinesthetic
- Interpersonal
- Intrapersonal
- Naturalist intelligence was later added
Triarchic Theory of Intelligence (Sternberg)
- The triarchic theory proposes three aspects of intelligence:
- Analytical intelligence (componential intelligence): analyzing and evaluating problems
- Creative intelligence: generating novel and interesting ideas
- Practical intelligence: adapting to daily life and the environment
Cognitive Information Processing Theory (Atkinson and Shiffrin)
- Information processing theory uses computers as a metaphor for human cognitive processes
Concept of Intelligence (Binet)
- Alfred Binet defined intelligence as "the components of intelligence are reasoning, judgment, memory, and the power of abstraction"
- Binet measured intelligence as "general mental ability of individuals in intelligent behaviors"
- Binet and Simon developed the Binet-Simon Scale, the first recognized IQ test
Spearman's Theory of General Intelligence
- Charles Spearman's two-factor theory proposes that general intelligence or "g" is correlated with specific abilities or "s"
- General intelligence is a common ability that influences various tasks and abilities
