Questions 31-40

Complete the notes below.

Theories of intelligence

1st theory (developed by psychologists such as Spearman, 1920s)

  • • Everyone has a particular intelligence quotient (IQ).
  • • There is no change during a person's 31.
  • • Intelligence is seen as genetic in origin.
  • • This theory is supported by research into the intelligence of 32.

2nd theory (based on the same research)

  • • Intelligence is due to environmental factors.
  • • Two children from the same family are likely to have similar 33. , affecting their intelligence.
  • • Evidence:
    – The Raven's test is used to assess people's ability to reason in an abstract way.
    – It found that after moving to a different culture there was an 34. in children's intelligence.

3rd theory (Howard Gardner, 1990s)

  • • People have multiple intelligences, including traditional ones (e.g. linguistic), and non-traditional (e.g. 35. )
  • • It is based on research that suggests specific parts of the 36. control specific cognitive abilities.
  • • It is supported by the fact that some people have problems identifying a 37. but no problems in other related areas.
  • • According to Gardner's theory, there is 38. between the different intelligences.

This can be used to improve learning:

  • • Surprisingly, improvements in rhythm may affect 39.
  • • Scientific facts may be easier to remember if learnt as a 40.
