Study Notes
The Primary Purpose of Intelligence Measurement
- The primary purpose of intelligence measurement historically was to identify students who needed extra academic support.
Crystallized Intelligence
-
Crystallized intelligence is knowledge and skills that are acquired over time, such as vocabulary and general information.
-
Contrary to the statement above, crystallized intelligence generally increases with age. This is because as we age, we accumulate more knowledge and experience.
The First Intelligence Test
- The first intelligence test was created by Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon in 1905.
The Formula for Calculating IQ
- The formula for calculating IQ is Mental Age/Chronological Age x 100.
Gardner's 8 Intelligences
-
Gardner's 8 Intelligences are:
- Linguistic
- Logical-Mathematical
- Spatial
- Musical
- Bodily-Kinesthetic
- Interpersonal
- Intrapersonal
- Naturalist
-
NOT one of Gardner's 8 Intelligences is Artistic Intelligence.
Types of Intelligence and Definitions
- Fluid Intelligence: The ability to reason and solve novel problems.
- Crystallized Intelligence: The ability to use learned knowledge and experience.
- Practical Intelligence: The ability to apply knowledge and skills to real-world situations.
- Emotional Intelligence: The ability to understand and manage emotions.
The Flynn Effect
- The Flynn effect refers to a steady increase in average IQ scores over decades. This increase is likely due to a variety of factors, such as improved nutrition, education, and access to information.
Nativist Theory in Language Acquisition
- Nativist theory in language acquisition emphasizes the innate biological endowment of language. This theory proposes that humans are born with a specific language acquisition device (LAD) that allows them to learn language.
