The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge, benefit from past experience, act purposely, solve problems, and adapt to new situations.

A general intelligence factor representing overall cognitive ability across various tasks.

Specific abilities contributing to performance on different intelligence tests.

Intelligence is a measure of the ability to adapt to, shape, or select one's environment.

Intelligence is the ability to judge, comprehend, and reason logically.

Intelligence includes the ability to understand and interact effectively with people, objects, and symbols.

Intelligence enables individuals to act purposefully, think rationally, and deal effectively with their surroundings.

Spearman's theory proposing two factors contributing to intelligence: general ability ('g') and specific abilities ('s')

The broad, underlying mental ability that influences performance on various cognitive tasks. It's like a general mental energy that fuels different skills.

Specific mental abilities, such as memory, attention, verbal comprehension, or spatial skills. These abilities contribute to 'g' factor but can vary independently.

The ability to think flexibly, solve novel problems, and learn quickly. It's about seeing patterns and adapting to new situations.

The accumulated knowledge, skills, and strategies acquired through learning and experience. It's what you've learned throughout life.

This theory proposes that 'g' is not a single entity, but rather composed of multiple cognitive abilities that work together. It emphasizes fluid and crystallized intelligence as key components.

Relatively unaffected by education, culture, or learning. It's more about inherent mental capacity for quick processing and problem-solving.

Strongly influenced by education, culture, and experiences. It grows as you learn and accumulate knowledge.

The 'g' factor is considered a universal, inborn ability present in everyone. It's like a mental energy that varies in strength from person to person.

The observation that IQ scores worldwide have been increasing over decades, approximately 3 points every 10 years.

The consistency of a measure over time.

The accuracy of a measure in capturing the psychological construct it's intended to measure.

A condition characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive skills.

The top 2%-4% of the population with IQ scores above 130.

The process of administering a test to a large group to establish norms for different age groups.

The ability to perform tasks that improve with age, used as a measure of intelligence.

The first standardized intelligence test, developed in 1905 by Alfred Binet, designed to identify children needing special educational assistance.
