PSYCH 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 27: Fluid And Crystallized Intelligence, Theory Of Multiple Intelligences, Knowledge Acquisition
Document Summary
Environmental demands may call for three different classes of adaptive problem solving and that people differ in their intellectual strengths in these areas: Analytical involves kinds of academically oriented problem solving skills measured by traditional intelligence tests. Practical refers to skills needed to cope with everyday demands and to manage oneself and other people effectively (includes emotional intelligence) Creative mental skills needed to deal adaptively with novel problems: galton resurrected. Modern attempts to relate neural measures to iq. Electrophysiological studies of brain responses to visual and auditory stimuli have modest correlation. Studies of brain metabolism show lower levels of glucose consumption in people of high intelligence: multiple intelligences. Howard gardner inspired of how specific human abilities are affected by brain damage, advanced a theory of multiple intelligences that define 8 distinct varieties/abilities of intelligence (linguistic, mathematical, visual- spatial, musical, body-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic) Bases argument on studies of brain damaged, which leave some abilities devastated, while sparing others.
