Zusammenfassung der Ressource

Frage 1

Frage
Heritability research seeks to find out:
Antworten
  • How important intelligence is for school performance.
  • ow important genes are compared to the environment when it comes to explaining differences between people in some trait or characteristic.
  • Which genes determine intelligence.

Frage 2

Frage
Heritability refers to:
Antworten
  • The extent to which differences between groups in society are due to genetic factors.
  • The extent to which a person’s intelligence is determined by their genetic heritage.
  • The extent to which variability, within a population, in a particular trait or characteristic, is explained by difference in genetic makeup.

Frage 3

Frage
A heritability estimate is:
Antworten
  • A figure that describes the extent to which a person’s intelligence is due to their genes.
  • A figure that describes the extent to which variability in a trait (in this case intelligence) is accounted for by variability in genes.
  • A figure that describes how much of a group’s average intellectual ability is accounted for by their genetic heritage.

Frage 4

Frage
Genes play a role in explaining differences in intelligence.
Antworten
  • Eugenicist.
  • Hereditarian.
  • Both.

Frage 5

Frage
The [blank_start]Eugenicist[blank_end] view is that intelligence is fixed and unalterable by circumstances in life.

  • Eugenicist
  • hereditarian

Frage 6

Frage

Antworten
  • Hereditarian
  • genes
  • environment

Frage 7

Frage
According to intelligence research, what does the 'missing heritability problem' refer to?
Antworten
  • The inability to agree on what intelligence is.
  • The inability of scientists to identify specific genes that differentiate high and low scorers on IQ tests.
  • The inability to come up with a precise heritability estimate

Frage 8

Frage
Which of these tests are a method of studying heritability of intelligence
Antworten
  • Studies of twins reared apart.
  • The army testing programme.
  • The Human Genome Project.

Frage 9

Frage
What is the 'equal enviornment assumption?
Antworten
  • The assumption that genes and the environment contribute equally to the development of intelligence.
  • The assumption that all people are equal in terms of their abilities.
  • The assumption that twins raised together experience roughly equal environments, regardless of how much of their genetic material they share (whether they are identical or non-identical twins).
