Document Summary

Intelligence: definition, a(cid:374) i(cid:374)di(cid:448)idual (cid:862)a(cid:271)ilit(cid:455) to u(cid:374)dersta(cid:374)d (cid:272)o(cid:373)ple(cid:454) ideas, to adapt effe(cid:272)ti(cid:448)el(cid:455) to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, and to overcome obstacles by taking thought. Spearman: general intelligence- the g factor, specific abilities- the s factors, g equals intelligence, s equals specific abilities. Thurstone: seven primary mental abilities, verbal comprehension, numerical ability, spatial relations, perceptual speed, word fluency, memory, reasoning, hierarchical, primary abilities can be subsumed under g. Guilford: structure of intellect, multiple abilities 150, no (cid:374)eed for (cid:862)g(cid:863, operations, content, products. Cattel: g = fluid + crystallized intelligence, crystallized- ability to apply acquired knowledge/skills when problem solving fluid- reasoning, memory, speed of information processing. Intrapersonal: linguistic, naturalistic, musical, kinesthetic, spatial, logical mathematical. Gard(cid:374)er"s multiple i(cid:374)tellige(cid:374)(cid:272)es: frames of mind/ different ways of thinking about the world, 8 multiple intelligences, there is no research to back this up.
