Geographic Metaphor Like a geographic map Attempt to develop a region for the mind
Geographic Metaphor History: Frank Joseph Gall Phrenology : pattern of bumps and swells on the skull associated with one s pattern of abilities Ability factors Developed statistical means
Identifying Abilities Factors of Intelligence Spearman s two-factor theory (1927) General ability g Specific abilities s
One or Many? Godfrey Thomson (1939) g Plus skills and motivation Louis L. Thurston (1938) Intelligence comprised of 7 distinct but interrelated factors (verbal comp., verbal fluency, number, memory, perceptual speed, inductive reasoning, and spatial visualization)
One or Many? J. P . Guilford (1956) Structure-of-intellect theory with 120 distinct abilities Involved content, cognitive product, and mental operation aspect Pro: Test construction Challenges: Intercorrelation of ability factors are too many
Hierarchical Theories of Intelligence General intelligence is at the top and more specific abilities are lower in the hierarchy Horn & Cattell (1966) Nine abilities at the top but the two best known are fluid and crystallized intelligence Carroll (1993) Three stratum theory
Hierarchical Theories of Intelligence Guttman (1954) Radex model of intelligence g at the center The harder the mental energy, the closer to g it was The further away, the easier the mental ability Tests that were more similar to each other were located close to each other
Conclusion Distinct abilities that can be measured by mental tests How people differ in their degree to which the possess these abilities Organization Cannot explain what an ability factor is What is mental energy?
