The ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use knowledge to adapt to new situations.
Is socially constructed thus…Can be culturally specific. According to this
definition, are both Einstein and Ruth intelligent?

To find out scientists use FACTOR ANALYSIS:A statistical procedure that identifies clusters of related items on a test.
Charles Spearman used FA to discovery his g or (general intelligence).
He saw using FA that doing well in one area of a test predicted that you will do well in another.
![Page 5: March 21, 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/5681457a550346895db24c19/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Howard Gardner disagreed with Spearman’s g and instead came up with the concept of multiple intelligences.
He came up with the idea by studying savants (a condition where a person has limited mental ability but is exceptional in one area).

First called social intelligence.
The ability to perceive, express, understand, and regulate emotions.
Some studies show EQ to be a greater predictor for future success than IQ
![Page 32: March 21, 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/5681457a550346895db24c19/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Small +.15 correlation between head size and intelligence scores (relative to body size).
Using an MRI we found +.44 correlation with brain size and IQ score.

Higher performing brains use less glucose than lower performing brains.
Neurological speed is also a bit quicker.

Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon set out to figure out a concept called a mental age (what a person of a particular age should know).
They discovered that by discovering someone’s mental age they can predict future performance.
Hoped they could use test to help children, not label them.
![Page 35: March 21, 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/5681457a550346895db24c19/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
A 8 year old has a mental age of 10, what is her IQ?
A 12 year old has the mental age of 9, what is his IQ?
A boy has the mental age of 10 and an IQ of 200, how old is he?
Used Binet’s research to construct the modern day IQ test called the Stanford-Binet Test.
IQ=Mental age/Chronological age X 100.

The Normal Curve and Stanford-Binet IQ Scores
Fig. 8.1
IQs less than 70 = mental retardation. More than 130 = gifted

It does not really work well on adults, why?
then his IQ would be 50!!!!!!
If a 60 year old man
does as well as an average 30 year old
That makes no sense!!!!!

The Bell curve is different for Whites v. Black.Math scores are different across genders and
the highest scores are for Asian males.Why?
Nature or Nurture

parents?Evidence from twin and adoption studies points
to a genetic component for intelligence

quality education as well as an enriching environment

There is general agreement that both heredity and environment affect IQ scores
Debate centers around the relative contribution of nature (heredity) and nurture (environment) to the development of intelligence

Schooling is an experience that pays dividends, which is reflected in intelligence scores. Increased schooling correlates with higher intelligence scores.
To increase readiness for schoolwork,projects like Head Start facilitate leaning.

1. Racial groups differ in their average intelligence scores.
2. High-scoring people (and groups) are more likely to attain high levels of education and income.
To discuss this issue we begin with two disturbing but agreed upon facts:
![Page 64: March 21, 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/5681457a550346895db24c19/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Races are remarkably alike genetically. Race is a social category. Asian students outperform North American
students on math achievement and aptitude tests. Today’s better prepared populations would
outperform populations of the 1930s on intelligence tests.
White and black infants tend to score equally well on tests predicting future intelligence.
Different ethnic groups have experienced periods of remarkable achievement in different eras.

1. Girls are better spellers
2. Girls are verbally fluent and have large vocabularies
3. Girls are better at locating objects
4. Girls are more sensitive to touch, taste, and color
5. Boys outnumber girls in counts of underachievement
6. Boys outperform girls at math problem solving, but under perform at math computation
7. Women detect emotions more easily than men do
There are seven ways in which males and females differ in various abilities.
![Page 66: March 21, 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/5681457a550346895db24c19/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

Aptitude tests are necessarily biased in the sense that they are sensitive to performance differences caused by cultural differences.
However, aptitude tests are not biased in the sense that they accurately predict performance of one group over the other.
![Page 67: March 21, 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062314/5681457a550346895db24c19/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

A stereotype threat is a self-confirming concern that one will be evaluated based on a negative stereotype.
This phenomenon appears in some instances in intelligence testing among African-Americans and among women of all colors.
