Document Summary
For example, a sixth grader trying to remember major battles of the american civil war could organize them geographically (e. g. , Shiloh and fort donelson in tennessee, antietam and monocacy in maryland) or chronologically (e. g. , fort sumter and first manassas in 1861, gettysburg and. Vicksburg in 1863): elaboration embellishing information to make it more memorable. To see elaboration in action, imagine a child who can"t remember whether the second syllable of rehearsal is spelled her or hear. The child could remember the correct spelling by reminding himself that rehearsal is like re-hear-ing. Children come to know much about perception, attention, intentions, knowledge, and thinking: what does g mean when it comes to theories of intelligence, at the top of the hierarchy is general intelligence (g). Below g are eight broad categories of intellectual skill, ranging from fluid intelligence to processing speed. Each ability in the second level is further divided into the skills listed in the third and most specific level.
