PSY 370 Lecture Notes - Lecture 24: Fluid And Crystallized Intelligence, Theory Of Multiple Intelligences, Heredity
Document Summary
Lay theories of intelligence smarts : often differentiate between book smarts and common sense or people. Crystalized: ability to learn and acquire knowledge, ability to perceive patterns, ability to apply information to solve practical problems, lots of theories about what intelligence is! Quite a bit of variation: different theories have different implications for how we measure intelligence . And the conclusions we make based on those tests. Scientific theories of intelligence: galton (1880s) The more we perceive, the more we have to work with. Measured with sensorimotor and perceptual tests: binet (1890s) These processes interact when we solve problems we can"t separate them: measured with more complex, sort-of realistic measures. Key innovations in the stanford-binet: first test to include detailed instructions for consistent administration and scoring, first test to create alternate forms. Why is this a big deal: adaptive testing design.
