Study Notes
General Intelligence (g)
- Spearman proposed a single intelligence factor (g) that correlates with various cognitive abilities, including IQ scores and academic performance.
Crystallized vs. Fluid Intelligence
- Crystallized intelligence: Represents accumulated knowledge and experience.
- Fluid intelligence: Reflects problem-solving and adaptability in novel situations.
Multiple Intelligences
- Gardner's theory identifies diverse intelligence types beyond traditional IQ, emphasizing unique cognitive strengths.
Sternberg's Triarchic Theory
- Categorizes intelligence into analytical, creative, and practical components, offering a broader view of intelligence.
Biological Influences
- Genetics significantly affect intelligence; twin and adoption studies show heritability of cognitive abilities.
Environmental Influences
- Socioeconomic status, birth order, nutrition, and stress affect intelligence, showing environmental factors' importance.
The Flynn Effect
- Observes a consistent rise in IQ scores across generations, suggesting changing societal factors influence intelligence.
Interconnectedness of Intelligence
- A single intelligence factor (g) is linked to specific abilities, predicting academic success, income, and life expectancy.
Crystallized vs. Fluid Intelligence (continued)
- Crystallized intelligence grows with experience, highlighting the value of education and learning.
- Fluid intelligence shows adaptability to new challenges, emphasizing problem-solving skills and crucial for holistic cognitive function.
Diversity of Cognitive Abilities
- Gardner's theory challenges the singular view of intelligence, advocating for diverse cognitive strengths, important in education.
Role of Genetics and Heritability (continued)
- Nature and nurture interact in shaping intelligence. Genetic predispositions and environmental factors shape cognitive development.
Impact of Socioeconomic Factors (continued)
- Higher socioeconomic status links to enriching educational experiences and opportunities. Policies addressing educational disparities are crucial.
The Flynn Effect and Its Implications (continued)
- Rising IQ scores across generations linked to factors like improved education, nutrition, and information access. Educators and policymakers need to adapt to these changes.
