7.1 Concepts of Intelligence and Creativity

slide-6
SLIDE 6
slide-7
SLIDE 7

Intelligence


  • Memory, understanding,

communicating, planning, problem- solving

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Intelligence


  • 3 components (Sternberg)

  • Processing/analytical 

  • Contextual/practical 

  • Experiential/creative

  • Fluid vs. crystallized

(Cattell)

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Intelligence categorized


  • Gardner’s 8 dimensions

  • Linguistic
  • Logical/mathematical

  • Spatial

  • Musical
slide-10
SLIDE 10
  • Bodily/kinesthetic

  • Interpersonal (between)

  • Intrapersonal (within)

  • Naturalistic
slide-11
SLIDE 11

Creativity factors


  • Uses 3 types of intelligence
  • Ability to analyze
  • Ability to synthesize
  • Ability to make practical

applications and changes


  • Needs divergent thinking to

restructure problems or see multiple solutions

7.2 Developmental Stability and Change

slide-13
SLIDE 13
slide-14
SLIDE 14

Intelligence


  • Measured intelligence

fairly stable and predictive

  • “g factor” concept of

generalized intelligence

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Intelligence


  • Crystallized intelligence

increases with age ➔ Intelligence stable ➔ Knowledge and ability to use knowledge changes

slide-16
SLIDE 16

7.3 Heredity and Environment

slide-17
SLIDE 17
slide-18
SLIDE 18

Boosting intelligence?


  • Can a person’s intelligence

be increased?

  • Genetic material is fixed
  • If environment/education

improved ➔ Increase IQ scores ➔ Increase some abilities, not g factor

7.4 Reaction Range

slide-20
SLIDE 20
slide-21
SLIDE 21

Reaction range


  • Defines upper/lower

limits of phenomenon

  • Intelligence reaction =

range of IQ set by genes, influenced by environment

  • Explains IQ differences

in twins raised apart

slide-22
SLIDE 22

7.5 Intelligence Tests

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Intelligence testing


  • Measures verbal and

non-verbal abilities/ aptitude
 (functioning ability)

  • Aptitude is predictive of

future ability and success

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Intelligence testing


  • “Normed” = 100 is

average with 15 pts per marking (standard deviation)

  • Bell-shaped curve
slide-25

slide-26
SLIDE 26

IQ categories

  • 130+ very superior (2%)
  • 116-129 superior (13.5%)
  • 101-115 above avg. (34%)
  • 85-99 below avg. (34%)
  • 70-84 borderline (13.5%)
  • 69- mentally defective (2%)

  • High IQ + 1 or more of

these:
