What is intelligence? Intelligence is the ability to learn or

Types of Intelligence Analytic intelligence: The ability to
identify and define problems. Also to find strategies to solving them.
Creative intelligence: The ability to generate solutions that other people do not.
Practical intelligence: The ability to apply and implement these solutions in everyday settings.

Middle-Level Abilities There is exactly 8 middle-level abilities:
Memory, learning, visual perception, auditory perception, retrieval ability, cognitive speediness, processing speed, crystallized intelligence and fluid intelligence.
Fluid intelligence: Ability to process information.
Crystallized intelligence: The accuracy and amount of information available for processing. Procedural knowledge: How to do things Declarative knowledge: Fact based information

Key terms Prodigies: People of normal intelligence who
have an extraordinary ability. Savants: People of low intelligence who have an
extraordinary ability. Heritability Coefficient: A statistic that describes
the proportion of the difference between people’s score that can be explained in their genetic makeup.
Two-factor theory of intelligence: Suggested that every task requires a combination of a general ability and skills that are specific to the task.

What factors determine intelligence?
Genetics and environment determine intelligence. Evidence of genetic influences:
Siblings taken care of together in the same home have IQ’s that are more similar than those of adopted children raised together in the same environment.
Evidence of environmental influences: School attendance has impacted on IQ scores.

Flynn effect Flynn effect means that our generation’s
IQ is higher than generations ago. Average intelligence test score has been
rising by about 0.3% every year, which is to say that the average person today scores about 15 IQ points higher than the average person did 50 years.
