1
Intelligence
Abstract, logic reasoning
Inductive reasoning (relationships & rules)
Problem solving
Transfer
Flexible adjustment
Potential for learning
2
Intelligence theories
Cattell and Horn -> 2 component, fluid (culture-independent) and crystallised (culture dependent)
Vernon's hierarchical theory-> general, major (verbal, spatial), minor, specific
Vernon also
A: innate genetic, like g, not developable,
B: expression, traits influenced by environment
C: specific test performance, measurable
Carroll's three stratum theory intelligence
more factors than Vernon, less correlated
CHC -> messy overall, intelligence complex, lotta aspects, broad to narrow
3
Intelligence: Across time, gender and over generations
From crosssectional, fluid goes down, but longitudinal, increase until age 60, then decrease
Male better at spatial
Flynn effect -> strongest fluid, least vocabulary, increase until '90, then decrease, not in developing countries, not due to genetics, but education and complexity of environment -> train brain to be better at such tasks
4
Model of dynamic test
a) Pretest (static, independent)
b) Intervention (dynamic, help from mediator),
c) Posttest (dynamic, independent),
d) Transfer task afterwards
You test either Progression (a to c)
Instructional needs (b)
Learning potential (both above + d)
5
Learning potential measures
number and type of steps to help child
Progression from pre to post (fewer steps, larger potential)
only post
transfer abilities
