Book excerpt: In recent years, reported racial disparities in IQ scores have been the subject of raging debates in the behavioral and social sciences and education. What can be made of these test results in the context of current scientific knowledge about human evolution and cognition? Unfortunately, discussion of these issues has tended to generate more heat than light. Now, the distinguished authors of this book offer powerful new illumination. Representing a range of disciplines--psychology, anthropology, biology, economics, history, philosophy, sociology, and statistics--the authors review the concept of race and then the concept of intelligence. Presenting a wide range of findings, they put the experience of the United States--so frequently the only focus of attention--in global perspective. They also show that the human species has no "races" in the biological sense (though cultures have a variety of folk concepts of "race"), that there is no single form of intelligence, and that formal education helps individuals to develop a variety of cognitive abilities. Race and Intelligence offers the most comprehensive and definitive response thus far to claims of innate differences in intelligence among races.

Download or read book Self Efficacy and Conceptions of Ability of Intelligence Creativity and Sport written by Davin Holland and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dweck (1986) hypothesized that some students believe intelligence is a stable quantity that cannot be altered (i.e., fixed) whereas other students view intelligence as a flexible trait that can be changed with effort (i.e., malleable). Presumably, students with a malleable belief about, or a malleable conception of, intellectual ability will be more efficacious in their academic performance compared to those with a fixed conception. Little research exists on the relationships between conceptions of ability and self-efficacy. Using a sample of 151 predominately Asian and Filipino American middle school students from an urban area, I examined the relationships among domain-specific conceptions of ability and domain-specific self-efficacy in the areas of intellectual, creative, and sport abilities. Participants were recruited from a school in the San Francisco Bay Area of the United States. Results indicated that conceptions of intellectual ability did not predict a meaningful proportion of the variance in academic self-efficacy and conceptions of creative ability did not predict a meaningful proportion of the variance in creative self-efficacy. Conceptions of sport ability accounted for a meaningful proportion of the variance in sport self-efficacy. There were no associations between conceptions of intellectual ability and self-reported grades. Implications of the findings within the field, limitations of the current study, and future directions of research are discussed.

Download or read book Handbook of Intelligence written by Sam Goldstein and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-08 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous functions, cognitive skills, and behaviors are associated with intelligence, yet decades of research has yielded little consensus on its definition. Emerging from often conflicting studies is the provocative idea that intelligence evolved as an adaptation humans needed to keep up with – and survive in – challenging new environments. The Handbook of Intelligence addresses a broad range of issues relating to our cognitive and linguistic past. It is the first full-length volume to place intelligence in an evolutionary/cultural framework, tracing the development of the human mind, exploring differences between humans and other primates, and addressing human thinking and reasoning about its own intelligence and its uses. The works of pioneering thinkers – from Plato to Darwin, Binet to Piaget, Luria to Weachsler – are referenced to illustrate major events in the evolution of theories of intelligence, leading to the current era of multiple intelligences and special education programs. In addition, it examines evolutionary concepts in areas as diverse as creativity, culture, neurocognition, emotional intelligence, and assessment. Featured topics include: The evolution of the human brain from matter to mind Social competition and the evolution of fluid intelligence Multiple intelligences in the new age of thinking Intelligence as a malleable construct From traditional IQ to second-generation intelligence tests The evolution of intelligence, including implications for educational programming and policy. The Handbook of Intelligence is an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, clinicians, and professionals in developmental psychology; assessment, testing and evaluation; language philosophy; personality and social psychology; sociology; and developmental biology.

This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intelligence Quotient Approximator (IQA [/ika/]) is a conceptual formula use to predict correct IQ of a person after taking a series of IQ tests using the derivative of ratio of ma and ca by 100. It is a simple and efficient way of predicting the intelligence quotient of a person. It is based on the assumption that if there is a simple and efficient way of doing things in life we don’t look outside the box when the solution is right inside the box. No complex formula is needed by teachers, psychometrists and laymen to measure and assess people’s intelligence. The IQA is meant to predict the Approximation of IQ of students (people) based on the Standardized Tests they have taken using the IQA formula. The IQA can be used by anybody because it is simple, provided you can read, count and write. In using the IQA to predict the IQ of a person whether she is ‘subnormal’ (like 80% or 90), ‘normal’ (100%) or ‘supernormal’ (genius: 120% or maxima genius: 200+).

Download or read book Intelligence in Context written by Robert J. Sternberg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-19 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects on the various ways in which intelligence can manifest itself in the wide range of diverse contexts in which people live. Intelligence is often viewed as being tantamount to a score or set of scores on a decontextualized standardized intelligence test. But intelligence always acts within a sociocultural context. Indeed, early theorists defined intelligence in terms of adaptation to the environment in which one lives. The tradition of decontextualization is old, dating back to the very beginning of the 20th century with the development of the Binet-Simon Intelligence Scales. This tradition is not only old, however, but obsolete. Because people live in different sociocultural as well as physical environments, intelligence can take somewhat different forms in different places and even at different times. The chapters in this edited volume show that intelligence viewed in the abstract is a somewhat vacuous concept - it needs to be contextualized in terms of people’s physical and sociocultural surroundings.
Download or read book On Intelligence written by Stephen J. Ceci and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ceci argues that traditional conceptions of intelligence ignore the role of society in shaping intelligence and underestimate the intelligence of non-Western societies. He puts forth a "bio-ecological" framework of individual differences in intellectual development that is intended to address some of the major deficiencies of extant theories of intelligence. The focus is on alternative interpretations of phenomena that emerge when implicit assumptions of intelligence researchers are challenged.
Download or read book Inventing Intelligence written by Elaine E. Castles and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use and misuse of IQ tests has long been a subject of contention in the scientific and social communities, particularly because these evaluations favor intelligence at the expense of other valuable human qualities. This is the first book of its kind to examine the historical development of our modern concept of intelligence and to explore America's fascination with the controversial exams that purport to measure it. Most of us assume that people in every period and in every region of the world have understood and valued intelligence in the same way we do today. Our modern concept of intelligence, however, is actually quite recent, emerging from the dramatic social and scientific changes that rocked the United States during the 19th century. Inventing Intelligence: How America Came to Worship IQ discusses the historical context for understanding the development of the concept of intelligence and the tests used to measure it. The author delves into the intertwined issues of IQ, heredity, and merit to offer a provocative look at how Americans came to overvalue IQ and the personal and social problems that have resulted.

Download or read book Conceptions of Giftedness and Talent written by Robert J. Sternberg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together eminent and emerging scholars to present cutting-edge research on diverse conceptions of giftedness and talent from a range of international perspectives.

In each chapter the contributors address both theoretical advances and practical applications for administrators, teachers, and parents. The editors conclude by integrating the different points of view and showing ways in which major ideas, even when given different names, can be integrated to provide a holistic and integral viewpoint on giftedness and talent. This book will appeal to students and scholars of creativity, giftedness and gifted education; as well as to practitioners, teachers and education policymakers.
Download or read book The Nature of Intelligence written by Gregory R. Bock and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-10-31 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolutionary psychology and behavioural genetics are two successful and important fields in the study of human behaviour, but practitioners in these subjects have different conceptions of the nature of human intelligence. Evolutionary psychologists dispute the existence of general intelligence and emphasise the differences among species. They argue that natural and sexual selection would be expected to produce intelligences that are specialised for particular domains, as encountered by particular species. Behavioural geneticists consider general intelligence to be the most fundamental aspect of intelligence and concentrate on the differences between individuals of the same species. This exciting book features papers and discussion contributions from leading behavioural geneticists, evolutionary psychologists and experts on intelligence that explore the differences and the tensions between these two approaches. The nature of 'g' or general intelligence is discussed in detail, as is the issue of the heritability of intelligence. The alternative approaches that emphasise domain-specific intelligences are explored, alongside wide-ranging discussions on a broad range of issues such as the biological basis for intelligence, animal models and changes in IQ scores over time.
