Intelligence
Give a definition of intelligence that you could defend, explaining why you believe you could defend it. Give examples of ways your definition of intelligence might be measured and skills people might have who would do well on those measures. Describe how you would differentiate measures of intelligence from measures of achievement.

Intelligence
Suppose you were asked to give a talk to parents and educators on the topic “Can IQ scores be raised?” You are asked to discuss both the hereditarian and environmental aspects of the issue. What would your arguments be for both a strong hereditarian position AND a strong environmentalist position? Be certain to give specific suggestions from an environmental perspective on how IQ could be raised.
Developed by W. Huitt, 1999

Psychometric Approach
Based on an assumption of normal distribution
![Page 9: PPT Presentation-Overview](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042607/555dc96ad8b42ab56b8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Psychometric Approach
Focus is on developing measures that predict academic performance
Some researchers are critical of this approach while others believe it has proven its correctness
Major issue: What is it we want to know?
• Predict school success as presently structured
• Predict life success
• Develop human potential
![Page 10: PPT Presentation-Overview](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042607/555dc96ad8b42ab56b8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Stability (Reliability) of IQ Scores
IQ measures fairly stable, especially after adolescence
• r (age 6, age 18) = .77
• r (age 12, age 18) = .89
• r (averages 5, 6, 7; averages 17, 18) = .86
• r (averages 11, 12, 13; averages 17, 18) = .96
![Page 11: PPT Presentation-Overview](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042607/555dc96ad8b42ab56b8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Predicting With IQ Measures (Validity)
IQ measures correlate with academic achievement about r = .5
Successful school learning also depends on:
• Persistence
• Interest in school
• Learning disabilities
• Encouragement from family, peers, teachers
• Other factors
![Page 12: PPT Presentation-Overview](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042607/555dc96ad8b42ab56b8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
IQ measures correlate about the same or lower with life success (Social status, Income)
• r (IQ, social status) = .5
• r (IQ, income) = .4
• Complex relationship because of impact of education
Predicting With IQ Measures (Validity)
![Page 13: PPT Presentation-Overview](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042607/555dc96ad8b42ab56b8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Factors other than IQ account for more variance when predicting life success (Goleman, 1995; Jencks, 1979)
Jencks, C. (1979). Who gets ahead? The determinants of economic success in America. New York: BasicBooks.
Predicting With IQ Measures (Validity)
• Affective/Emotional Factors
• Conative/Volitional Factors

What is the source of intelligence (as measured by IQ)
• Nature (Biology, genetics)
• Nuture (Environment, family, schooling, changing economic conditions)
Correlations among various group members used to test hypotheses
Issue of Nature vs. Nuture

• Between families

Nuture’s Influence
Stability of IQ measures true only if there are no radical changes in the environment
• Gains in Appalachia in 1930s
• Venezuelan Intelligence Project (Herrnstein and others, 1986)
• Feuerstein’s (1980) Instrumental Enrichment

Norms must be constantly revised because of continuously rising test scores (Flynn, 1987)

• Average gain about 3 points per decade

• Average gain about 3 points per decade
• 19-year-olds in Netherlands went up more than 8 points from 1972-1982
Nuture’s Influence

Hypotheses for rising IQ scores
• Daily life and occupational experiences more “complex”
• Better nutrition
• Measuring “abstract problem solving ability,” not really intelligence
Nuture’s Influence
![Page 23: PPT Presentation-Overview](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042607/555dc96ad8b42ab56b8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Issue of nature vs. nuture is especially critical for educators:
Issue of Nature vs. Nuture
• If nature, our role is to sort and select
• If nuture, our role is to develop
![Page 24: PPT Presentation-Overview](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042607/555dc96ad8b42ab56b8b4b8c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Of course, the reality is that both are important
Issue of Nature vs. Nuture

Psychometric Approach
Because IQ is a reliable and valid predictor of academic performance and academic performance is related to SES, educators should look at methods that have demonstrated an ability to impact IQ
Educators can also look to other theories of intelligence for some ideas about human potential
• Sternberg• Gardner• Piaget
