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.
