Document Summary

Learning objectives: describe carroll"s three-tiered model of intelligence, reference gardner"s alternative view of multiple intelligences and describe some traits that pertain to it, design basic iq questions for children. A history of intelligence: older views, reaction time, keenness of sight, speed of association, head size, alfred binet. Invented first iq test using trial and error: binet-simon intelligence test, puzzles, object naming, counting. Carroll"s 3-tiered model: general intelligence (g, basic intelligence, e. g. , fluid intelligence, e. g. , crystallized intelligence, a set of specific abilities, e. g. , perception, generalization, problem solving. Alternative views of intelligence: gardner"s alternative theory of multiple intelligences, people have at least 7 types of intelligence necessary for functioning and survival, not based on test scores. Logical-math intelligence: musical intelligence, nature intelligence, body-kinesthetic intelligence. Intra-personal intelligence: evidence for gardner"s approach, these areas of intelligence have different developmental patterns (emerge at different ages, damage to a specific brain may impact only one type of intelligence and not others.
