psych intelligence

  • Intelligence

  • Aptitude test: growth and what you've learned

  • Reliability, validity, standardizations: all the intelligence tests need to be like this, they have to reliable and produce consistent result

  • S intelligence: being exceptionally good in one category (like english overall then other subjects) 

  • g (general intelligence): charles darwin theory using factor analysis; like you have excellent skills in an area and if you score well in something you are well rounded 

  • Intelligence quotient (IQ) intelligence scale

  • Mental age- intellectual/ cognitive ability of an individual 

  • Chronological age- persons actual age 

  • Standardization- defining uniform testing procedure  and meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a retested group 

  • Validity: test produce accurate results 

  • Construct validity- test samples behavior of that is of interest 

  • Predictive validity- the success with which a test predicts the behavior it is designed to predict

  • Reliability-  extent to which a test yields consistent results

  • Test-retest reliability varying versions of the test are given

  • Split-half reliability scores on two halves of the test (even items v. odd items) are compared

  • Stereotype threat risk of confirming stereotypes about an individual's race that can lead to negative performance on academic test 

  • Stereotype lift - positive reinforcement for better performance, being told your group has a better chance of winning, you perform better 

  • Flynn Effect It turns out that intelligence test performance has improved.This worldwide phenomenon is called the Flynn effect, in honor of New Zealand researcher James Flynn who first calculated its magnitude.

  • Achievement tests- tests that measure what you have learned in a course 

  • Aptitude tests- test that predicts your ability, like an entrance exam 

  • Fixed mindset

  • Growth mindset

  • Fluid intelligence: processing speed and logic (older, fluid decrease-we know through cross sectional research)

  • crystallized intelligence: longitudinal research, accumulated research over time, positive correlation as crystalized intelligence increases (how they are related)

  • emotional intelligence: perceiving, managing and using emotions properly

  • Francis gulton: father of eugenics, cousin of charles darwin, intelligence mating with intelligence 

  • Creative: robert strurnberg triarchtic theory, creative, achidenemic intelligence, and 1 more i forgot

  • Howard gardner: multiple intelligence theory, came up with 8 

  • Mental vs chronological.. mentla/chronological x 100 = IQ 

  • Alfred benefit, came up with first IQ test, came up with mental/chronological age then revised by lewis 

  • Savant syndrome: individual scores low on IQ test but has an incredible skill 

  • 86% of score between 85-115, <30 intelligellect disability 

  • Gifted, 130+ 

  • Lewsi turnman, refines the beneit test and they caleld it the stanford bineqt test
