Questão
Jacinda is extremely talented in math and science and has received a number of scholarships based on her abilities in these areas. However, Jacinda just can’t seem to catch on in her English classes, no matter how many she takes. She is repeating her remedial English class for the third time, and still struggling.

  • fluid intelligence
  • crystallized intelligence
  • tacit intelligence

  • practical intelligence
  • intrapersonal intelligence
  • creative intelligence
  • analytical intelligence

Questão 6

Dorinda tells you that her 12-year-old cousin recently completed an intelligence test and that her cousin’s deviation IQ score was 75, but she is not sure what this means. You should tell her that her cousin:
Responda
  • answered 25% of the questions correctly on the test
  • scored below the mean for 12-year-olds
  • scored above the mean for 12-year-olds
  • answered 75% of the questions correctly on the test

Questão 7

Questão
Individuals who are mildly affected by an intellectual disability:
Responda
  • may not be recognized by the community as having a serious deficiency

  • will not be able to live a satisfying lifestyle

Responda
  • the Flynn Effect
  • the labeling effect
  • the Mozart effect
  • stereotype threat

Questão 9

Questão
Mr. and Mrs. Matthews are excited because two-year-old Lauren just completed the Toddler Test of Academic Potential (TTAP), and the results indicate that her current IQ is over 150. They want to start a college savings fund right away to ensure Lauren will be able to attend one of the top private universities. You tell Mr. and Mrs. Matthews that they might want to wait because:
Responda
  • before the age of 3 or 4, it is difficult to get an accurate assessment of intellectual ability
  • Lauren’s IQ will probably not stabilize until she is at least 14 or 15, so she will need to be tested again, once she is in high school
  • typically IQ scores from toddlerhood actually increase, so Lauren’s actual IQ is probably closer to 200
  • typically IQ scores from toddlerhood decrease by at least half, so Lauren’s actual IQ is probably closer to 75

Questão 10

Questão
Women may perform worse on math tests when they believe they are taking a test that men tend to do better on than women. This is an example of:
Responda
  • the heritability of intelligence
  • the Flynn Effect
