CHYS 2P10 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Wechsler Intelligence Scale For Children, Fluid And Crystallized Intelligence, Mental Scale
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. Intelligence quotient calculated as: iq = mental age/chronological age *100, but all modern tests now use deviation. The wechsler scales: wppsi iii, wisc iv, tests include both verbal and nonverbal (performance) measures. ), but he did not find any significant correlation. Crystal g: fluid intelligence is most directly helpful in unfamiliar testing situations, the opposite is true for crystallized intelligence, fluid intelligence appears to peak during the early 20"s, whereas crystallized intelligence peaks at around age 50. What is g: mental speed and working memory have both been raised as possible basis of g. Intelligence consists of: a general ability factor, specialized ability factors, carroll"s three-stratum theory of intelligence. Information-processing perspective: sternberg"s triarchic theory, context, experience, information-processing skills. Independent: differences between a traditional classroom and one based on mi.
