Wk11: Intelligence Flashcards
(21 cards)
Define intelligence
- Whatever intelligence tests measure
- learn from experience, adapt to environment, and metacognition
- attain goals in the face of obstacles by means based on rational rules
General intelligence
General intelligence in the overall intelligence capacity
Specialised intelligence
The difference between general intelligence and the intelligence individuals show in different fields
Crystalised intelligence
- Denomination of general intelligence
- The fixed behaviours and knowledge we have
Fluid intelligence
- Denomination of general intelligence
- The dynamic behaviours and knowledge application we use
What does IQ correlate with?
WM r=.5
Simple info processing speed r=.35
Inspection time r=.35
brain size r=.12
What is IQ?
- intelligence measure
- standardised on a bell curve, µ=100, ∂=15
- Uses standford-binet
- Weshler
What are the benefits of Raven’s progressive matricies
- They do not utilise cultural information as a measure of intelligence (cross-cultural)
What are genetic causes of IQ?
- heritability (mono vz dizygotic twins)
- nutrition
- lead
- prenatal alcohol exposure
*
What are environmental causes of IQ?
- occupation
- schooling
- life experiences
- intervention
- genetic interaction
What is the flynn effect?
- The trend of IQ test performance increasing over time
- ~3 points every decade
- are we getting smarter, or getting better at test taking?
What are the gender differences in IQ
Males better at visuo-spacial tasks
Females better at verbal tasks
What are the psychometric models of intelligence?
- Thurstone’s 7 abilities
- Guilford’s 120/150 factors
What are the 7 factors of Thurstone’s psychometric models of intelligence?
- Verbal comprehension
- Verbal fluency
- Inductive reasoning
- Spactial visualisation
- Numbers
- Memory
- Perceptual space
What are the 3 factors of Guilford’s psychometric measure of intelligence?
- operations
- content
- products
- the interaction between these 3
What are the 2 factors of Spearman’s psychometric measure of intelligence?
The g factor to (general) intelligence, mediated by specialised intelligence, determines intelligence.
General is either fluid of crystallised
What are the 9 factors of Spearman’s psychometric measure of intelligence?
- G factor mediated by 8 factors
- Fluid
- Crystallised
- General memory and learning
- Broad visual perception
- Broad auditory perception
- Broad retrieval ability
- Broad cognitive speediness
- Processing speed
F/C, Aud/Vis, Retrieval/ Memory, Early/Late cognitive speed,
Problems of psyhcometric models of intelligence
- Theories: hard to test, theories contradict
- Method: testing may not be mental processes
- Data: restriction of age range, situational context
- Not cross-cultural
What are the 9 factors of Gardner’s system measure of intelligence?
- Linguistic
- Logical/ Mathematical
- Spacial
- Musical
- Body-kinesthetic
- Intrapersonal
- Interpersonal
- Naturalist
- Existential
Eng/ Math, Space/MVMT, Inter/ Intra, nature/ exist, music
What are the 3 factors of Sternberg’s system measure of intelligence?
- Analytical (componential) = IQ
- Creative (experimental) = creativity tasks
- Practical (contextual) = reasoning tasks
Is AI intelligent?
- Good IQ test scores
- No intrinsic motivation
- No physical, real-world interaction (no learn from experience)
- No human-like understanding (is it data-analysis or synthesis?)
