UNIT 9 INTELLIGENCE by Diana Dimova https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/hufnip8kvlu1 Made with eyes on the prize en-us 2017-02-27 13:26:53 UTC 2025-10-07 02:41:35 UTC hello@padlet.com 2.28 ~ I can describe intelligence. dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/hufnip8kvlu1/wish/156388035 -Albert Einstein
-Stephen Hawking
intelligence: a level of smartness; having knowledge and applying it
(video: a thought experiment on the intelligence of crows)

Intelligence: the ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt
-socially/culturally constructed, smart = success

-Alfred Binet
  • first IQ test in France
  • Binet-Simon Scale
  • goal was to identify students who needed special attendance in an academic setting
-Lewis Terman
  • an educational psychologist 
  • promoted use of the IQ test
  • President of the APA
  • initiated 
-William Stern
  • first IQ test in USA
-Thurstone
  • created standard deviation around the 7 primary mental abilities
  • developed the mean and SD for the IQ score, able to quantify and measure what IQ is



Standardization
  • -test is given to "sample" group first 
  • -defines meaningful scores
  • -bell-shaped curve (should all fall on a normal curve)
  • -avg. IQ = 100
  • -Flynn Effect: the substantial and long-sustained increase in both fluid and crystallized intelligence test scores

How to find IQ score:
mental age / chronological age x 100 =IQ
  • -110-119 is bright normal
  • -120-129 is superior
  • -130 is very superior
  • -150 and above is truly gifted
  • -the low extreme: IQ under 70
  • -intellectual disability: 1% of population; 2x more males
  • -Savant Syndrome: autistic people who aren't socially there, but are intelligently there

-to assess skills
ex: military

2 ways to do so:
-Aptitude Tests: predict ability
ex: SAT/ACT
-Achievement Tests: currently know
ex: unit exams

WAIS & WISC:
WAIS - adult intelligence scale
 WISC - child intelligence scale
WPPSI - preschool test
-all by David Weschler

Reliability: test is consistent
ex: if one scores today... then...
Validity: test "tests" what it is supposed to test
ex: math tests math
face validity: is the test deceptive?]]> 2017-03-07 13:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/hufnip8kvlu1/wish/158319523 3.8 ~ I can understand divergent and convergent thinking. dianadim8472 https://padlet.com/dianadim8472/hufnip8kvlu1/wish/158644918 JP Guilford
Divergent Thinking: being able to think in different directions; open-minded (the process of creating many unique solutions in order to solve a problem)
Convergent Thinking: thinking on one thing, goes in one direction; close-minded (the process of finding a single best solution to a problem that you are trying to solve (ex: tests in school))
