    Chapter 11

    Intelligence

    Origins of Intelligence Testing

    * Intelligence Test

    * a method of assessing an individual's mental aptitudes and comparing them to those of others, using numerical scores

    Origins of Intelligence Testing

    * Mental Age

    * a measure of intelligence test performance devised by Binet

    * chronological age that most typically corresponds to a given level of performance

    * child who does as well as the average 8-year-old is said to have a mental age of 8

    Origins of Intelligence Testing

    * Stanford-Binet

    * the widely used American revision of Binet's original intelligence test

    * revised by Terman at Stanford University

    Origins of Intelligence Testing

    * Intelligence Quotient (IQ)

    * defined originally the ratio of mental age (ma) to chronological age (ca) multiplied by 100

    * IQ = ma/ca x 100)

    * on contemporary tests, the average performance for a given age is assigned a score of 100

    What is Intelligence?

    * Intelligence

    * ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations

    What is Intelligence?

    * Factor Analysis

    * statistical procedure that identifies clusters of related items (called factors) on a test

    * used to identify different dimensions of performance that underlie one's total score

    * General Intelligence (g)

    * factor that Spearman and others believed underlies specific mental abilities

    * measured by every task on an intelligence test

    Are There Multiple Intelligences?

    * Savant Syndrome

    * condition in which a person otherwise limited in mental ability has an exceptional specific skill

    * computation

    * drawing

    Are There Multiple Intelligences?

    * Social Intelligence

    * the know-how involved in comprehending social situations and managing oneself successfully

    * Emotional Intelligence

    * ability to perceive, express, understand, and regulate emotions

    Intelligence and Creativity

    * Creativity

    * the ability to produce novel and valuable ideas

    * expertise

    * imaginative thinking skills

    * venturesome personality

    * intrinsic motivation

    * creative environment

    Brain Function and Intelligence

    * People who can perceive the stimulus very quickly tend to score somewhat higher on intelligence tests

    Assessing Intelligence

    * Aptitude Test

    * a test designed to predict a person's future performance

    * aptitude is the capacity to learn

    * Achievement Test

    * a test designed to assess what a person has learned

    Assessing Intelligence

    * Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)

    * most widely used intelligence test

    * subtests

    * verbal

    * performance (nonverbal)

    Assessing Intelligence: Sample Items from the WAIS

    Assessing Intelligence

    * Standardization

    * defining meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested "standardization group"

    * Normal Curve

    * the symmetrical bell-shaped curve that describes the distribution of many physical and psychological attributes

    * most scores fall near the average, and fewer and fewer scores lie near the extremes

    The Normal Curve

    Getting Smarter?

    Assessing Intelligence

    * Reliability

    * the extent to which a test yields consistent results

    * assessed by consistency of scores on:

    * two halves of the test

    * alternate forms of the test

    * retesting

    * Validity

    * the extent to which a test measures or predicts what it is supposed to

    Assessing Intelligence

    * Content Validity

    * the extent to which a test samples the behavior that is of interest

    * driving test that samples driving tasks

    * Criterion

    * behavior (such as college grades) that a test (such as the SAT) is designed to predict

    * the measure used in defining whether the test has predictive validity

    Assessing Intelligence

    * Predictive Validity

    * success with which a test predicts the behavior it is designed to predict

    * assessed by computing the correlation between test scores and the criterion behavior

    * also called criterion-related validity

    Assessing Intelligence

    * As the range of data under consideration narrows, its predictive power diminishes

    The Dynamics of Intelligence

    * Mental Retardation

    * a condition of limited mental ability

    * indicated by an intelligence score below 70

    * produces difficulty in adapting to the demands of life

    * varies from mild to profound

    * Down Syndrome

    * retardation and associated physical disorders caused by an extra chromosome in one's genetic makeup

    The Dynamics of Intelligence

    Genetic Influences

    * The most genetically similar people have the most similar scores

    Genetic Influences

    * Heritability

    * the proportion of variation among individuals that we can attribute to genes

    * variability depends on range of populations and environments studied

    Genetic Influences

    EnvironmentalInfluences

    * The Schooling Effect

    Group Differences

    * Group differences and environmental impact

    Group Differences

    * The Mental Rotation Test

    Group Differences

    * Stereotype Threat

    * A self-confirming concern that one will be evaluated based on a negative stereotype
