Document Summary
What does sternberg"s theory emphasize when it comes to deciding what intelligence is, sternberg emphasizes that successful intelligence is revealed in people"s pursuit of goals, which vary in different cultural or ethnic groups. That is, intelligence is defined by the demands of an environment or culture. What is intelligent for children growing up in north american cities may not be intelligent for children growing up in the sahara desert, the australian outback, or on a remote island in the pacific ocean. For example, in brazil, many school-age boys sell candy and fruit to bus passengers and pedestrians. Does it do it: lewis terman of stanford university revised binet and simon"s test and named it the stanford-binet. Terman described performance as an intelligence quotient, or iq, which was the ratio of ma to ca, multiplied by 100: in fact, iq scores are remarkably powerful predictors of developmental outcomes.
