First, describe each theory.  Then, discuss advantages OR disadvantages of each of the following theories of intelligence: 
•A. Spearman’s general intelligence (g) 
•B. Thurstone’s primary mental abilities 
•C. Gardner’s multiple intelligences 
•D. Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory 

•Discuss in table groups, add information to class Padlet.  Double-click to add a post. Write group member names in the title.

Each group presents about one aspect of the theory (description, advantages, or disadvantages) to the class.

A: Can be assessed by intelligence test. 
D: Could be other types of intelligence that do not just fall into those categories. ]]> 2019-10-02 18:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/ha7o8lm4y9wu/wish/392643770 Description patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/ha7o8lm4y9wu/wish/393009799 General Intelligence (g): factor that Charles Spearman and others  believed underlies specific mental

A basic intelligence that predicts our abilities in varied academic areas. ]]> 2019-10-03 13:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/ha7o8lm4y9wu/wish/393009799 Description patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/ha7o8lm4y9wu/wish/393009896 Believed our intelligence could be broken down into seven factors: word fluency, verbal comprehension, spatial ability, perceptual speed, numerical ability, inductive reasoning, and memory.
