Study Notes
- Intelligence involves learning, problem-solving, and adapting.
Spearman’s Two-Factor Theory
- Intelligence includes general and specific factors.
- General Intelligence (g factor) is a broad mental capacity impacting cognitive tasks.
- High general intelligence correlates with excelling in multiple areas.
- Specific Intelligence (s factor) relates to abilities in specific tasks or fields.
- Aptitude in mathematics or music indicates high specific intelligence.
Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences
- This theory challenges the traditional view of intelligence.
- Multiple intelligences represent different information processing methods.
- Verbal/Linguistic intelligence involves effective language use.
- Musical intelligence involves composing, performing, and appreciating music.
- Logical/Mathematical intelligence involves logical reasoning and problem-solving.
- Visual/Spatial intelligence involves thinking in images and visualizing accurately.
- Bodily/Kinesthetic intelligence involves using one’s body to solve problems.
- Interpersonal intelligence involves understanding and interacting with others.
- Intrapersonal intelligence involves self-awareness and understanding emotions.
- Naturalist intelligence involves identifying patterns in nature.
- Existential intelligence involves tackling deep questions about human existence.
Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory of Intelligence
- This model includes three types of intelligence.
- Analytical Intelligence is the ability to analyze, evaluate, and compare information.
- Analytical Intelligence is associated with academic problem-solving.
- Creative Intelligence is the capacity to deal with novel situations and generate innovative solutions.
- Practical Intelligence is the ability to adapt to everyday life using existing knowledge.
