GENERAL MENTAL ABILITY.

Binet - intelligence as the capacity To find and maintain a definite direction or purpose, To make necessary adaptations i.e strategy adjustments—to achieve that purpose, and To engage in self-criticism so that necessary adjustments in strategy can be made.

Intelligence = judgmental, attention , and reasoning facilities of the individual (Binet & Simon,1905)

Modern theories of intelligence: 2 major concepts

AGE DIFFERENTIATION and GENERAL MENTAL ABILITY.

GENERAL MENTAL ABILITY.

Galton (1869) in his classic work, Hereditary Genius: An Inquiry into Its Laws and Consequences Binet measured only the total product of the various separate and distinct elements of intelligence,that is, general mental ability.Spearman

GENERAL MENTAL ABILITY.

Spearman’s notion of general mental ability / psychometric ‘g’ (or simply g), was a set of diverse abilityFor Spearman, g could best be conceptualized in terms of mental energy.Implications of General Mental Intelligence (g)The concept of general intelligence implies that a person’s intelligence can best be represented by a single score, g, that presumably reflects the shared variance underlying performance on a diverse set of tests.

GENERAL MENTAL ABILITY.

Recent theories say -multiple intelligence not single(g).Ex . The gf-gc Theory of Intelligence.Fluid intelligence ( gf ) abilities that allow us to reason, think, and acquire new knowledge (Kane &Engle, 2002;

Primi, 2002; Stankov

, 2003).

BINET KAMNTH TEST

TWO BASIC PRINCIPLES OF BINET INTELLENGENCE Principle 1: Age Differentiation(= simple fact that one can differentiate older children from younger children by the former’s greater capabilities.Principle 2: General Mental Ability(the total product of the various separate and distinct elements of intelligence)The first version, the 1905 Binet-Simon scale to identifying mentally disabled children in the Paris school system.

Mental age is a unit of measurement for expressing the results of intelligence tests. The concept was introduced in the second revision of the

Binet

scale in 1908.

the

intelligence quotient (IQ) is a unit of measure for expressing

the results of intelligence tests. Introduced in the

Terman

1916 Stanford-

Binet

revision of the

Binet

scale, the IQ is a ratio score

an age scale format. This means that tasks of differing content are grouped together on the basis of difficultyequal weighting of verbal and nonverbal items,The estimated level of ability is called the start point. The level at which a minimum criterion number of correct responses is obtained is known as the basal. Testing continues until examinees reach the ceiling, which is a certain number of incorrect responses that indicate the items are too difficult.

The age range from 2 to 85 years of age.The deviation IQ, as it is now used in the Stanford-

Binet

Scale (fifth edition),

is a standard score with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
