Charles Spearman's General Intelligence (g factor) theory
A basic intelligencepredicts our abilities all areas
Abilities such as verbal and spatial do have a tendency to correlate
Human abilities are toodiverse to be encapsulatedin one single intelligencefactor
L.L.Thrustine's Primary Mental Abilitiestheory
Our intelligence can be broken down into 7 different factors:including verbal, spatial, numerical, reasoning and memory skills
A cluster of ability scoresare more informativethan a single g factor
Score on these 7 abilities tend to cluster togetherstill suggesting a generalintelligence
Howard Gardner'sMultiple Intelligencetheory
Robert Sternberg'sTriarchic Intelligencetheory
Our abilities can be classified into 8 distinct and independentintelligence areas
Our intelligence can be classified into three distinct and independentareas that usually predictreal world outcomes
Human abilities are far reaching and should include more than just verbal and mathskills
All three ability levels can be easily measured
Can all human abilities be an indicator of intelligence?What is the difference betweenintelligence and talent?Do these three areas really predict success? Aren't these three factorspart of an underlying g factor?
Developed the first intelligence test for the purpose of assessing if a child needed special attention for academic development. He theorized through "dull" (young child abilities) and "bight" (older child abilities) studies that humans have a mental age the age that would correspond to the difficulty level for which a child can answer questions.
A professor at Stanford who adapted Binet's mental age IQ test for use with American school children. A modernized version of the StanfordBinet IQ test is still used in schools today.
Developed the intelligence quotient or IQ which calculated by the following equation: IQ = mental age x 100 chronological ageex. a 10 yr old who can answer 12 yr old problems has an IQ of 120
Developed the most widely used IQ tests today (WAIS, WISC).He also formulated the bell shaped curve which describes IQ scores for the human population.
Only 2% of the human population has an IQ score below 70.The percentages on this chart are for that 2%.
Savant SyndromeIQs usually range between 2550 and yet they posses extreme abilities in certain specific areas (music, numbers, art etc...). Many savants are • autistic• male• lacking adequate verbal skills
Twin studies show that intelligence test scores for twins are more similar than scores for either siblings who grow up together or unrelated individuals who grow up together. Environmental effects are apparent in the identical twin studies raised apart. Heredity's role is apparent in studies of fraternal twins raised together.
