- What is Intelligence?
- 1904 - cognitive ability in one test would give similar results on other tests
- cognitive skills or 'general cognitive ability' (g) is what we might call intelligence.
- there are over 100 skills which someone uses when planning what to do
- 1942, it was suggested that intelligence is not what we know but what we do when we don't know something.
- The 100 skills were categorised into fluid intelligence (gf) AND crystallised intelligence (gc)
- gf= biological ability gc= ability learnt over time.
- Horn (1967) assessed development of IQ and found that gf is higher for younger adults than older adults but gc is higher for older adults.
- Sternberg (1985) developed his triarchic theory of intelligence which is based on 3 skills
- Analytical intelligence: skills of analysing, evaluating and judging.
- Practical intelligence: skills used when actually implementing ideas.
- Creative intelligence: Skills used when dealing with new or novel ideas and creating.
- Two aspects of emotional intelligence (EI) were identified by Goleman (1996)
- Understanding others and their feelings.
- Understanding yourself, your goals, intentions and behaviour.
- 1904 - cognitive ability in one test would give similar results on other tests
