Document Summary

50% genetics iq > 50% of the variation in intelligence can be predicted by genetics. This does not mean that our genetics account for 50% of our intelligence. for each person, this amount varies; if the parents are dumb, the kids don"t necessarily have to be dumb. Uid intelligence: adaptive thinking, problem solving abilities. Crystallized knowledge: knowledge over time, accumulated experience. Everything that we do is a combination of uid and crystallized intelligence. Uid and crystallized change ever time. the uid intelligence slowly stops over time as we get old, crystallized intelligence increases over time. Kohlberg: he thought that every person went through 3 stages: pre-conventional, conventional and post-conventional. Pre-conventional: undeveloped, focuses on the immediate consequences of the action (reward and punishment). Some people never reach the post-conventional stage. Ericson: our personalities develop into stages and each stage there"s a crisis.
