Terms in this set (16)

Does intelligence stay stable or does it change with age?

-Crystallized intelligence increases with age, while fluid intelligence declines with age, because unreal processing slows.
-The stability of intelligence test scores increases with age
-We gain worldly knowledge, vocabulary, social reasoning, and wisdom with age.
-we lose speedy processing and recall memory with age. We also have less negative emotions distorting decisions.

crystallized intelligence

-our accumulated knowledge and verbal skills; tends to increase with age

fluid intelligence

-our ability to reason speedily and abstractly; tends to decrease during late adulthood

How stable are intelligence test scores over the lifespan?

-Scores begin to predict adolescent and adult achievement at age 4
-Scores are very stable and predictive by adolescence

Why do intelligent people live longer?

-Intelligence provides better access to resources.
-Intelligence encourages healthy lifestyles.
-Prenatal events or early childhood illnesses could influence both intelligence and health.
-A "well-wired body" as evidenced by fast reaction speeds, may foster both intelligence and longer life.

intellectual disability

-(formerly referred to as mental retardation) a condition of limited mental ability, indicated by an intelligence score of 70 or below and difficulty in adapting to the demands of life; varies from mild to profound.
-limitation of conceptual, social, and practical skills

Down Syndrome

a condition of intellectual disability and associated physical disorders caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21.

High scoring intelligence

-high scorers tend to be healthier and live longer.
-Tend to be more well-adjusted and better academically
-Schools that separate "gifted" children from average or below average students can cause self-fulfilling prophecies

What evidence points to a genetic influence on intelligence?

-twin studies indicate high heritability of intelligence
-Identical twins perform almost identically on IQ tests when reared together, and still similarly when reared apart
-intelligence is polygenetic
-

What does evidence reveal about environmental influences on intelligence?

-Identical twins reared apart have very similar IQ scores, but are less correlated than when twins are reared together.
-Children raised in very impoverished environments with minimal social interactions indicate that life experiences can highly influence intelligence test performance
-There is no evidence that normal, healthy children can be molded into geniuses by growing up in an enriched environment

Schooling and Intelligence

-Preschool and elementary school clearly have at least a temporary impact on intelligence test scores.
-College can have a positive impact on intelligence test scores if students have:
motivation and incentives.
belief that people can improve.
study skills, especially the willingness to practice.

Heritability

The proportion of variation among individuals that we can attribute to genes. The heritability of a trait may vary, depending on the range of populations and environments studied.

How and why do the genders differ in mental ability scores?

-g is actually very similar on average
-girls are better at: spelling, verbal fluency, locating objects, detecting emotions, and more sensitive to touch, talk, taste, and color
-boys better at: partial ability and complex math problems
-cultures with gender-equality show less of a gender math gap
-evolutionary, cultural, and brain-based reasons for gender differences. Also stereotype threat

how and why racial and ethnic groups differ in mental ability scores

-differ in average intelligence test scores
-racial group differences in intelligence tests are believed to be largely, maybe entirely, due to environmental differences/culture.
-group differences are caused by environment, while individual differences are mainly caused by genetics
-different environments can foster differences in intelligence scores

Are intelligence tests inappropriately biased?

-Aptitude tests aim to predict how well a test-taker will perform in a given situation. So they are necessarily "biased" in the sense that they are sensitive to performance differences caused by cultural experience. By "inappropriately biased," psychologists mean that a test predicts less accurately for one group than for another. In this sense, most experts consider the major aptitude tests unbiased. Stereotype threat, a self-confirming concern that one will be evaluated based on a negative stereotype, affects performance on all kinds of tests.

stereotype threat

-a self-confirming concern that one will be evaluated based on a given stereotype
-ex: women do worse on a test when told that men usually do better. They do better when told that men and women typically score similarly
-Self-doubts about your stereotype may hijack working memory and impair performance
-telling students that they are not likely to succeed will only erode performance

What is fluid and crystallized intelligence quizlet?

Fluid intelligence involves the ability to identify patterns and relationships that underpin novel problems and to extrapolate these findings using logic. crystallized intelligence. our accumulated knowledge and verbal skills; tends to increase with age.

What is crystallized vs fluid intelligence?

7 While fluid intelligence involves our current ability to reason and deal with complex information around us, crystallized intelligence involves learning, knowledge, and skills that are acquired over a lifetime.

What does crystallized intelligence refer to?

Fluid intelligence is the ability to use logic and solve problems in new or novel situations without reference to pre-existing knowledge. Crystallized intelligence is the ability to use knowledge that was previously acquired through education and experience.

What is meant by fluid intelligence?

Fluid intelligence (Gf) is defined as reasoning ability, and the ability to generate, transform, and manipulate different types of novel information in real time. From: Aging and Decision Making, 2015.
