Document Summary
Broke up his company into little companies: chevron, exxon, esso. Iq not concerned with the process of intelligent action. Iq is product-oriented: performance on a certain kind of test: tells you if someone figures things out, does not tell you how people figure things out. Materials: 2 weights, 2 pieces of string, your own timer. Which factors affect how long it takes for the pendulum to swing back and forth (periodicity: string length, weight on end, starting height, length and height, none of the above. Little weight/long string/ high start = 57 seconds. Operations: isolate one factor and test whether it affects periodicity. Formal operations: break down the problem into parts, ask what is driving each part, perform the operations. Operations: mental representation of actions that obey logical rules, operations develop with age, coming online rapidly and discontinuously. Let(cid:859)s sa(cid:455) that if (cid:455)ou hit a glass (cid:449)ith a feather, the glass (cid:449)ill (cid:271)reak.
