Unit 10: Intelligence (intelligence-ability to learn from experience,…

- - - - factors impacting creative intelligence-functional fixedness-cognitive bias that limits a person to using an object/process only in the way it is traditionally used
        fixed vs growth mindset- fixed mindset people believe their basic qualities are fixed traits, while growth mindset individuals believe in improvement and success
- - - - reliability-does the test generate similar scores every time validity-does the test generate scores that are accurate to what its trying to measure.
        content validity-the extent to which a test samples the behavior that it claims to test
        predictive validity-the success with which a test predicts the hevaior it is desigened to test
      - culture and ethinicity-racial groups differ in intelligence scores, white US bell curve is at 100 black us bell curve is at 85, ethinic differences have been discovered as well
        
        culture relevant tests vs vulture fair tests (non verbal reasoning)
      - genetics-down syndrome:extra chromosome leads to mild to severe intellectual disabilities and associtated physical disorders, heritability:the extent to which intelligence scores and their variation in a population can be contributed to genetics
        
        intellectual disability-mild(55-69), moderate(40-54), severe(25-39), profound(below 25) on IQ
      - environment-nutrition, music lessons, communication
      - age-crystallized intelligence:what you know increases over time, fluid intelligence:your ability to reason quickly and abstractly when solving new problems decreases over time
      - gender- more boys at the high extremes and low extremes, more girls in the middle, girls have higher verbal scores, boys have higher spatial-reasoning scores
      - stereotype threat-stanford university, the way the assessments delievered had an impact --> behave similarly to the stereotype , triggers one to act a certain way
