• score measures how far you deviates of the typical score of your age (are you doing better or worst then people with your age)

Question 5

realibility

Answer 5

• does it show the same resoults
• split-half reliability:first half and second half have same scores? yes
• test-retest realibility: are scores reliables when doing the test again ? yes

they are pretty reliable

Question 6

validity

Answer 6

• is it really measuring intelligence ?
• predictive validity? does it predict things that have to do with IQ (ex:grades,income)
• construct validity? is it actually measuring intelligence ?

Question 7

psychometric approch

Answer 7

• measurement of mental abilities,devising tests to measure a person’s inteligence relative to others
• but not everyone agrees(12)

Question 8

General intelligence

Answer 8

• general intelligence as multiple abilities

Question 9

crystalized intelligence

Answer 9

facts you learn trough school, across your life

Question 10

fluid intelligence

Answer 10

ability to think on the spot, to solve new problems

Question 11

3 level of intelligence is another type of general inteligence

Answer 11

ex:vocabulary,fluid

Question 12

multiple types of intelligence that can not be tested

Answer 12

• stenberg’s theory of sucessful intelligence
• Gardner’s multiple inteligence

Question 13

stenberg’s theory of sucessful intelligence

Answer 13

• Analytical intelligence: like traditional inteligents tests
• Pratical intelligence:ability to adapt to new situations,street smart
• Creative intelligence:different/out of the box solutions you can come up with

Question 14

Gardner’s multiple inteligence

Answer 14

he belive that their was 8 types of intelligence that may not relate to each other

Question 15

individual differences in IQ: genetics(twin test)

Answer 15

• passive effects:will create an enviroment that renforces the childs genes (ex: a lot of books in the household)-Evocative effects:where the childs genes evocates an enviroment genetic effects(ex:reads a lot so parents buy more books )-Active effects:child choosing their enviroment that reinforces their genetics(ex: go to reading clubs/harder classes)

effects on genes seems to get stronger as we get older

Question 16

people who share enviroment have more similar IQ then those who lives seperatly

Question 17

individual differences in IQ: Enviroment

Answer 17

• Schooling (the higher the schooling the hiegher the IQ)-even children of the same age but different grades will have huge differences in IQ ( ex maria is 10 in 5 grade and natasha is 10 in 4 grade:maria will have a higher score)
• family/home enviroment:how they are parented and what they have on the househol
• Socioeconomic statues/oportunity
  (ex:nutrition)

Question 18

Group differences in IQ scores influences

Answer 18

• sex/gender-girls > verbal advantage
  • boys> spatial/math advantage, they are more spread out in the curve
• race: they score similary but black people get 20 points less
