Early childhood education program

Artificial intelligence (AI)
Any artificial system (often a computer program) that is capable of human-like problem-solving or intelligent responding
Emotional intelligence
The ability to perceive, use, understand, and manage emotions
Current classifications of intellectual disability are as follows
mild (50-55 to 70), moderate (35-40 to 50-55), severe (20-25 to 35-40), and profound (below 20-25)
Moreover, the importance of genes changes across the lifespan
they are less important earlier in life, but are more important contributors to intelligence as we move into adulthood
The second problem has to do with the fact that past research has relied on a very crude measure of race
identification using a limited number of options on a form, or obvious characteristics such as skin color
People who are "smart" emotionally are able to make use of each of the four components of emotional intelligence
perceiving emotions, using emotions, understanding emotions, and managing emotions
