A general mental ability to learn, adapt, and simplify complexities.

An underlying concept that cannot be directly measured.

Using language to simplify complex information for better understanding.

Implicit intelligence is personal and subjective; explicit is standardized and research-based.

Investigated people's conceptions of intelligence in different settings.

Focus on fast mental processing and efficient information handling.

Valued for strong memory and social, historical, and spiritual interaction abilities.

At 6 months, infants recognize people, show motor coordination, and awareness.

At 2 years, enhances verbal skills, curiosity, and awareness of environment.

At 10 years, shows problem-solving, reasoning, and creativity.

Involves practical problem solving, verbal ability, and social competence.

Highlighted relevance and creativity in intelligence within everyday life.

Exceptional ability often coupled with an extraordinary memory.

Founder of Differential Psychology and psychometrics, focused on measuring mental abilities.

Published a list of 10 mental tests aimed at measuring individual differences.

Critiqued Cattell's tests, emphasizing the need for an independent criterion for intelligence.

Developed an intelligence test for children to identify educational needs, using a pragmatic approach.

Test constructed to measure intellectual competence through continuous refinement.

Coined the term intelligence quotient (IQ), which is age-relative.

A revised version of the Binet-Simon test, widely used today.

Introduced in 1939, assessing intelligence across all ages with various sub-tests.

Theory proposing two types of intelligence: general intelligence (g) and specific intelligences.

Theory suggesting intelligence comprises seven independent mental abilities.

List of abilities: verbal comprehension, word fluency, number facility, spatial visualization, associative memory, perceptual speed, reasoning.

Model of intelligence featuring three levels: general intelligence, numerous broad abilities, and narrower abilities.

Highest level in Carroll's model, represents general intelligence (g) and broad abilities.

Middle level in Carroll's model, includes several narrower abilities specific to certain cognitive domains.

Lowest level in Carroll's model, refers to specific cognitive tasks and abilities.

Statistical tool showing the relationship between variables and underlying factors after rotation.

A test measuring adult intelligence using verbal and performance tasks.

The observed rise in IQ scores across generations due to environmental factors.

A non-verbal test assessing abstract reasoning with increasing difficulty.

Statistical relationships used to factor intelligence tests into specific abilities.

A concept introduced by Galton representing general intelligence in factor analysis.

Social factors that hinder development and assess intervention effectiveness.

Improper application of intelligence tests leading to discrimination or bias.

Acquired knowledge and skills related to cultural background.

Focus on measuring intelligence through test scores, not explaining differences.

Focuses on biological processes involved in intelligence and memory limits.

Measures response time as an indicator of IQ and intelligence.

Higher intelligence can predict academic performance and life longevity.
