PSYB30H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Equivalence Class, Genotype, Sehar
Document Summary
The expectation is that these two will be related to each other: what is missing is that, y and z are specific manifestations of x. 5 year olds that are tall, tend to be tall adults: height is highly stable despite its differential continuity. It undergoes absolute changes that are robust individual differences. Intelligence is also a very stable individual difference. Sehar qureshi: children who are smart, tend to score smart as adults on tests. Intelligence tests have been used to control for the fact that we all get smarter as we age. In spite of the dramatic change, the relative rank order on the scale of intelligence tends to be stable over time: differential continuity can thus exist in the absence of mean/absolute level continuity. For him, personality becomes a set like plaster by age 30. This means that people have more time for things to settle down permanently.
