List behaviors you believe to be characteristic of particularly intelligent people and particularly unintelligent people. Intelligence- the ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations. Is intelligence one general ability or Several specific abilities?

Charles Spearman (1863-1945) believed we have one GENERAL INTELLIGENCE (g) GENERAL INTELLIGENCE - underlies specific mental abilities and is measured by every task on an intelligence test. This general mental capacity is demonstrated through FACTOR ANALYSIS. FACTOR ANALYSIS – a statistical procedure that identifies clusters of related items.

Gardner’s Eight Intelligences 1. Linguistic -T.S. Eliot, Poet 2. Logical-mathematical – Albert Einstein 3. Musical – Mozart, composer 4. Spatial – Picasso, artist 5. Bodily-kinesthetic – Jordan, athlete 6. Intrapersonal (self) – Freud, Psychiatrist 7. Interpersonal (other people) – Ghandi, leader Naturalist – Darwin, naturalist Sternberg’s Three Intelligences Analytical Intelligence – ability to solve well defined problems with one specific answer. Creative Intelligence – demonstrated in reacting adaptively to novel situations and creating novel ideas. Practical Intelligence – required for everyday tasks, which may be undefined and may have multiple solutions.

Lewis Terman, a professor at Stanford University adjusted the test for American students and adults. Created the Stanford-Binet test. Began use of IQ score. IQ = (Mental Age/Chronological Age)100 Alfred Binet: in 1904 was commissioned by France to study the problem. Believed that all children follow the same course of intellectual development but some develop faster or slower than others. Mental Age: the level of performance typically associated with a certain age. Created the Binet-Simon scale, first known intelligence test.
10
Achievement Tests Tests designed to assess what a person has learned. Ex… AP Exam, FCAT Aptitude Tests Tests designed to predict a person’s future performance; aptitude is the capacity to learn. Ex… SAT, ACT
12
What are the 11 categories? Create your own version of 11 sample questions
13
Standardization: defining meaningful scores by comparison with the performance of a pretested group. Normal Curve: scores tend to form this shape. Reliability: the extent to which a test yields consistent results. Validity: the extent to which a test measures or predicts what it is supposed to. Content Validity: the extent to which a test samples behavior that is of interest. Predictive Validity: the success with which a test predicts the behavior it is designed to predict.
14
Intellectual Disability: a condition of limited mental ability, indicated by a score of 70 or below (formerly referred to as mental retardation) LOW EXTREME
