Document Summary
Thurstone found 7 factors related to intelligence: verbal comprehension, verbal fluency, number, spatial visualization, memory, reasoning, perceptual speed. In the school system it is the most used learning theory: logical-mathematical, linguistics, spatial, naturalist, musical, bodily-kinesthetic. One of the most enduring controversy in psychology is whether intelligence is mostly influenced by heredity or by environmental influences (nature vs. nurture) Most estimates of heritability of iq hover around 50% This does not mean that 50% of intelligence is based on genes, but that 50% of variability in intelligence is related to variability in genetic make-up.
