What are the Classic Theories of Intelligence? correct answers Charles Spearman: Intelligence Is
One Thing
Louis Thurstone: Intelligence Is Many Things
What is crystallized intelligence? correct answers our accumulated knowledge and verbal skills;
tends to increase with age
the body of knowledge one has accumulated as a result of life experiences.
What is fluid intelligence? correct answers capacity to learn new ways of solving problems
the ability to reason when faced with novel problems
What are the Wechsler Intelligence Tests? correct answers Currently, there are three Wechsler
IQ tests
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) (age 6-16)
Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence—Third Edition (WPPSI-III) age (2-7)
The most popular current assessments of intelligence; the WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence
Scale) and WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children)
They yield a single full-scale intelligence score, four or five index scores, and about a dozen
(give or take a few, depending on optional subtests chosen) specific subtest scores.
What theory did Charles Spearman propose? correct answers Intelligence is a singular
characteristic.
, labeled this characteristic "g" for general intelligence and argued that it represented a person's
global, overall intellectual ability.
He concluded that intelligence was one thing
What are the factors in WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) exams? correct answers
Verbal Comprehension Index—a measure of verbal concept formation and verbal reasoning
Perceptual
Reasoning Index—a measure of fluid reasoning, spatial processing, and visual-motor integration
Working
Memory Index—a measure of the capacity to store, transform, and recall incoming information
and data in short-term memory
Processing Speed Index—a measure of the ability to process simple or rote information rapidly
and accurately
What theory did Louis Thurstone propose? correct answers He opposed Spearman's singular
theory of intelligence and said that Intelligence is not one thing; it is many things
He argued that intelligence should not be understood as a single, unified ability but as numerous
distinct abilities that have little relationship to one another.
After a few tests, he found several independent factors. These factors were given labels such as
verbal comprehension,
numerical ability,
spatial reasoning,
and memory.
according to Thurstone, if you know how capable someone is regarding, say, mathematics, you
cannot predict with confidence how capable that person is regarding, say, verbal skills.
What are the Stanford-Binet Intelligence tests correct answers The first editions of the Stanford-
Binet intelligence test dominated the field in the early 1900s until the Wechsler tests began to
provide competition.
What are Hierarchical models of intelligence? correct answers Eventually, Spearman and
Thurstone each acknowledged the validity of the other's arguments and came to somewhat of a
compromise.
They settled on a hierarchical model of intelligence in which specific abilities ("s") existed and
were important, but they were all at least somewhat related to one another and to a global,
overall, general intelligence ("g")
