Unit 6: Intelligence - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Intelligence can be broken into three levels:
        
        Broad Abilities: Reasoning, memory, and processing speed.
        
        Specific Abilities: Narrow abilities such as vocabulary or math
        
        General Intelligence (g): Overall cognitive ability.
    - - Crystallized Intelligence: Having the capacity to use knowledge and experience (such as knowing dates of historical events or how to make a cake).
      - Fluid Intelligence: Having the capacity to think fast and solve new problems (such as solving a puzzle).
    - - Intelligence isn't one thing, it's lots! Gardner concluded 8 categories:
        
        Logical-Mathematical: Logical and good at numbers.
        
        Verbal-Linguistic: Well with words and language.
        
        Visual-Spatial: Well with seeing and getting around in space.
        
        Musical-Rhythmic: Well with music and beat.
        
        Interpersonal: Well at reading people.
        
        Intrapersonal: Well at reading yourself.
        
        Naturalistic: Well at reading the world around you.
        
        Bodily-Kinesthetic: Well with your body (e.g. athletes or dancers).
    - - Being well at reading your own emotions and the emotions of others.
      - It's not regular intelligence because it's about emotion, not thoughts.
    - - Fixed Mindset: Believing that intelligence is fixed (e.g., "I'm just not good at math").
      - Growth Mindset: Believing that intelligence can be created through effort (e.g., "I can get better at math if I practice").
  - - - Women: Generally are better at fine motor skills, reading comprehension, and interpreting emotions.
      - Men: Generally are better at fluid reasoning and spatial exercises.
      - Note: But these are averages, people are quite different, and gender is only one factor.
