Document Summary
Old views; reaction time, keenness of sight, speed of association, head size. First iq test (using trial & error) At least 7 types of intelligence for survival and functioning. Proof: these areas of intelligence appear at different ages, and damaging only a specific area in the brain only affects one type of intelligence. Example: when people learn best using a specific intelligence area. Although it is not observable, it uses iq tests. Wechsler intelligence scale for children (wisc) and wechsler. Test performance in a bunch of different areas. Ex: printed language, spatial relations, rate of test taking, semantic processing speed. Used to produce a score in specific age group and location. Example of different iq test for different ages: Children and adult iq correlate but less over long time intervals. Flynn effect humans being more intelligent. Iq scores are rising (explains changes in iq tests) Prevalence in low ses communities, less developed countries and those with lower iq scores.
