| Intelligence | *has a broad definition as the ability to apply prior knowledge and experiences flexibly to accomplish challenging new tasks. And/or the capacity to acquire knowledge, to think + reason in the abstract, and to deal with novel situations +problems.

| David Wechsler | Created a battery of intelligence tests for adult intelligence known as the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale in 1939 Most widely used test in the US, first revision was in 1942 Did not believe there is a mental age against which individual performance can be measured against |
| Alfred Binet | Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale The Stanford Binet tests ability in children & usually takes around an hour to for a child to complete. It is given by a psychologist and in the case of a child there are no parents present. The Stanford Binet IQ test has five areas that measure both verbal and non-verbal. The WISC is often preferred to Stanford Binet in testing young children because it requires more concentration to complete so its more useful in measuring the cognitive capabilities. |
| Herdity (Genes) vs. Environment | Heredity plays a role in intelligence Environment plays a role through: *prenatal care *postnatal care *Nutrition *Schooling *Stimulating environments |
| IQ Scores | 130 and above is gifted; 70 and below is mentally challenged. *Bell Curve for IQ-Normal Distribution |
| Research on First Borns | overrepresented among Nobel Prize winners (Clark & Rice, 1982) classical music composers (Schubert, Wagner & Schubert, 1977) and prominent psychologists (Terry, 1989). *cross sectional studies have found that the higher the birth order the lowr the IQ *longitudinal studies demonstrate that there is no relationship between birth order and IQ. Important to note that IQ is only ONE factor in achievement of success. |
| Research on Lateborns | Intelligence and Creativity Some studies have found that Laterborn children are more likely to become revolutionary leaders and scientists, and they may in fact be more creative than their firstborn siblings (Sulloway, 1996; 1999; Simonton, 1984/1999, 1999) |
| Exceptionalities | *Gifted* Upper end of the ability continuum (IQ > 130) who need supplemental help to achieve potential. Learn faster than and easily than other same age peers Can be largest underachievers if left to work at level of non gifted peers. |
| Teaching gifted kids | 1. Enrichment of the curriculum (field trips, simulations, independent work) 2. Acceleration of regular curriculum CHALLENGES: social and emotional consequences |
| Mensa | Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr. Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ. |
