Document Summary

Intelligence is a trait or set of traits on which individuals differ: early binet-simon test. How is intelligence measured: stanford-binet intelligence scale. Iq = mental age/chronological age *100, but all modern tests now use deviation iqs: the wechsler scales. Tests include both verbal and nonverbal (performance) measures. I. q: while the results from these tests no longer measure the relative mental age vs. physical age, their score is still reported as iq. Iq now means the relative performance of an individual compared to the average results (although for children, it still has an age component) ), but he did not find any significant correlation. The opposite is true for crystallized intelligence: fluid intelligence appears to peak during the early 20"s, whereas crystallized intelligence peaks. What is g: mental speed and working memory have both been raised as possible basis of g. Information-processing perspective (not important!!!: carroll"s three-stratum theory of intelligence, gardner"s theory of multiple intelligences.
