Document Summary
Only accounts for variability in performance intelligent people must also still work hard (start early, labour continuously, never give up a cause) Crystallized intelligence: what you"ve learned increases throughout life (as you accumulate long term knowledge) Fluid intelligence: ability to think flexibly increases in youth but levels off as we mature (unchanged by learning) Drawing out relationships that apply to new situations. Raven progressive matrices: problems that measure general intelligence (find which pattern belongs to the missing square) Education of relations and correlates: ability to grasp how things are related to each other. Working memory capacity: working memory and general intelligence are related. Central executive is similar to fluid intelligence. Operation span task: shown math problem with the word next to it have to remember the word when presented with the math problem again. Tests for memory and general intelligence are correlated but not perfectly (working memory has also been correlated with other aspects of intelligence)
