PSY270H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Pizza Pizza, Group Decision-Making, Subjective Expected Utility
Document Summary
So today we"re going to talk about decision making. So just very briefly, finishing up with intelligence, i"m not going to go over everything. Yes all the people who had higher intelligence when they were 11 lived to write the test when they were 78 or something but that doesn"t necessarily mean that smart people live longer there"s just that correlation there. Maybe, as one of the researchers proposed, having a higher iq is a representative of general fitness, mental fitness, body fitness it may help you to live longer. So it"s just so you can keep in mind that maybe having a higher iq itself leads to a longer life but maybe there"s something else in there. Iq scores are rarely completely stable across a lifetime. Large changes in iq are usually a result of dramatic variations in health or living conditions, or severe emotional problems.
