Document Summary
Intelligence: what is it: intelligence: the application of cognitive skill and knowledge to learn, solve problems, and obtain ends that are valued by an individual or culture. Two factor theories of intelligence: g-factor theory, g-factor: general intelligence, fluid intelligence, crystalized intelligence, gf-gc theory, general fluid (gf) intelligence: the capability to think logically and creatively to solve problems. Ex: think outside the box: general crystalized (gc) intelligence: people"s stores of knowledge. Ex: vocabulary: s-factor theory, s-factor: specific cognitive ability, broad coverall. Cattell-horn-carroll (chc) model: includes, motor, perception, controlled attention, knowledge, psychomotor speed, speed of perception, attention fluency, learning efficiency & retrieval fluency, more modern theory. Highly correlated over short periods of time (~0. 95) wants to be 1. 0. Iq can change over time, especially early in development. Becomes more stable with age: validity: actually measures what is says it will (like accuracy) Includes natural measures of intelligence: validity: actually measures what is says it will (like accuracy)
