    Study Notes

    Intelligence Theories

    • Robert Sternberg coined the theory of Multiple Intelligences, which proposes that there are eight separate types of intelligence.
    • The eight types of intelligence are:
      • Verbal-Linguistic: ability to verbalize and process verbal information
      • Logical-Mathematical: ability to reason abstractly and think logically
      • Spatial: ability to recognize and manipulate objects in space
      • Naturalist: ability to recognize and understand living things
      • Interpersonal: ability to understand other people's intentions and behaviors
      • Intrapersonal: ability to understand one's own thoughts and feelings
      • Analytical: ability to evaluate and analyze information

    Intelligence and Cognitive Abilities

    • General Intelligence (g) refers to the general ability to perform cognitive tasks
    • Specific abilities are applied to specific tasks and skills
    • Cognitive performance is determined by the interaction of specific abilities and general intelligence

    Learning Theories

    • Positive Reinforcement: behavior is strengthened by a desirable consequence
    • Negative Reinforcement: behavior is strengthened by the removal of an undesirable consequence
    • Punishment: behavior is weakened by an undesirable consequence
    • Observational Learning: learning through observing others and imitating their behavior

    Bandura's Theory

    • Albert Bandura disagreed with Pavlov's behaviorism and proposed that behavior is learned through observation and imitation
    • Triadic Reciprocal Causation Model: behavior is influenced by personal factors, environmental factors, and behavior itself
    • Self-Efficacy: believing in one's ability to perform a task
    • Observational Learning has four principles:
      1. Attention: paying attention to the behavior and its consequences
      2. Retention: remembering the behavior through memory tactics
      3. Reproduction: repeating the behavior
      4. Motivation: having a reason to perform the behavior
