intelligence is how someone learns and applies their skills and abilities

Intelligent individual: Einstein

Definition of Intelligence: the ability to learn from experience, sole problems and use knowledge to adapt
-humans are socially and culturally constructed, smart = success

Important People: Alfred Binet, Lewis Terman, William Stern

Binet: invented the first practical intelligence test (Binet-Simon Scale)
-goal was to identify students who needed special attendance in a n academic setting

Terman: an educational psychologist, promoted the use of the intelligence test, president of the American Psych Association (APA)

Stern: created the term IQ (intelligence quotient)

Thurston: created standard deviation around 7 primary mental abilities
-developed the mean and standard deviation for the IQ score- able to quantify
and measure what IQ is]]> 2017-02-27 13:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/syednaz6114/6srvlokflnn0/wish/156387825 syednaz6114 https://padlet.com/syednaz6114/6srvlokflnn0/wish/156709861 Standardization
-test is given to sample group first 
-defines meaningful scores

Flynn effect: mean shifts to higher number (generations keep getting smarter)
-IQ keeps shifting to a higher mean each generation

How to find IQ score
mental stage/chronological stage *100=IQ
-EX: 10 year old who can answer the questions of an 11 year old has IQ of 110

The Low Extreme Intelligence
-Mild: 50-69
-Moderate: 35-49

Intellectual Disability (1 % of population
Severe: 20-34
Profound: under 20]]> 2017-02-28 13:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/syednaz6114/6srvlokflnn0/wish/156709861 syednaz6114 https://padlet.com/syednaz6114/6srvlokflnn0/wish/157008489 I would put Kim Peek on the high end because he is mentally capable of doing everything a non special needs person is able to do except for math problems. ]]> 2017-03-01 13:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/syednaz6114/6srvlokflnn0/wish/157008489 syednaz6114 https://padlet.com/syednaz6114/6srvlokflnn0/wish/158003811 2017-03-06 13:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/syednaz6114/6srvlokflnn0/wish/158003811 syednaz6114 https://padlet.com/syednaz6114/6srvlokflnn0/wish/158319504 Why do we assess intelligence?
-To group people and see where they belong according to their intelligence

2 Ways to measure intelligence
1) Aptitude: tests that predict future abilities
-predict how far your intelligence can take you in the future

2) Achievement: test what you currently know

Weschler's tests
WPPSI- preschool test
WISC- test for children
WAIS- test for adults

Reliability: whether or not test is consistent

Validity: test "tests" what is is supposed to test
EX: math tests math]]> 2017-03-07 13:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/syednaz6114/6srvlokflnn0/wish/158319504 syednaz6114 https://padlet.com/syednaz6114/6srvlokflnn0/wish/158643403 Convergent vs. Divergent Thinking: JP. Gulliford

Convergent: the process of finding a single best solution to a problem that you are trying to solve (ex. you tests in school)
Divergent: the process of creating many unique solutions in order to solve a problem]]> 2017-03-08 13:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/syednaz6114/6srvlokflnn0/wish/158643403
