Across
- 2. The extent to which a test yields consistent results
- 4. The process of thinking or mentally processing information (images, concepts, words, rules, and symbols).
- 5. the indvidual that published the first measure of intelligence in 1905. The purpose of his intelligence test was to correctly place students on academic tracks based on ability, not classify students
- 6. constructed three different types of IQ tests: WAIS, WISC, and the WPPSI. These tests test intelligence on many different subtests (accounting for many types of skills) and that your score is placed on a normal curve against the rest of the population.
- 9. theory proposed by Robert Sternberg that states that intelligence consists of three parts including Analytic = the ability to solve problems, Creative = the ability to deal with new situations, and Practical = the ability to adjust and cope with one's environment
- 10. A sudden mental reorganization of a problem that makes the solution obvious; Aha moment!
- 11. a tendency to search for information that confirms one's preconceptions
- 13. The ability to perceive, understand, manage, and use emotions
- 16. Estimating the likelihood of events based on their availability in memory; if instances come readily to mind, we presume such events are common
- 17. The average mental ability people display at a given age.
- 18. An ideal model used as a prime example of a particular concept.
- 19. A learned set of rules that always leads to the correct solution of a problem.
- 20. An index of intelligence defined as a person's mental age divided by his or her chronological age and multiplied by 100.
- 21. professor at Stanford who revised the Binet test for Americans. The test then became the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test. He is also known for his longitudinal research on gifted kids.
- 23. Howard Gardner's theory that there are several specialized types of intellectual ability.
- 25. A general ability factor or core of general intellectual ability that involves reasoning, problem-solving ability, knowledge, memory, and successful adaptation to one's surroundings.
- 26. A rigidity in problem solving caused by an inability to see new uses for familiar objects.
- 27. Thinking directed toward discovery of a single established correct answer; conventional thinking.
Down
- 1. Thinking that produces many ideas or alternatives; a major element in original or creative thought.
- 3. An overall capacity to think rationally, act purposefully, and deal effectively with the environment.
- 7. a test designed to assess what a person has learned, AP test
- 8. A person's age in years.
- 12. A tendency to select wrong answers because they seem to match pre-existing mental categories., judging the likelihood of things in terms of how well they seem to represent, or match, particular prototypes; may lead one to ignore other relevant information
- 14. An idea representing a category of related objects or events.
- 15. In thought, the terms in which a problem is stated or the way that it is structured.
- 16. a test designed to predict a person's future performance; SAT or ACT
- 22. The tendency to repeat wrong solutions or faulty responses, especially as a result of becoming blind to alternatives.
- 24. A bell-shaped curve characterized by a large number of scores in a middle area, tapering to very few extremely high and low scores.
- 28. the extent to which a test measures or predicts what it is supposed to
- 29. Any strategy or technique that aids problem solving, especially by limiting the number of possible solutions to be tried.
