Early strategies: sum (start at 1 and count all the way up), min (start at largest number and count up, ex. Later strategies: decomposition, fact retrieval (remember it from sometime before, from experience) If so, you should be as skilled in one area as any other. Then your ability in math would have no effect on how you do in language. Could be mentally 10 years old, chronologically (actually) 15. Factor analysis: later models: guilford"s structure-of-intellect model. 2 types of intelligence: fluid intelligence (not from school/education), crystallized intelligence (improves with schooling and education) Context (adapting, shaping environment), experience (familiar with the problem/situation), information-processing skills (knowledge, strategies, focus)
