Intelligence is the ability to learn from one’s experiences, to acquire knowledge, and to use resources effectively in adapting to new situations or solving problems. There is disagreement on exactly what is meant by the term intelligence. Spearman proposed a general intelligence dimension, labeled the g factor, and another dimension of specific intelligence referred to as the s factor. Gardner proposed that at least nine different kinds of intelligence exist and Sternberg proposed the triarchic theory of intelligence. Binet developed the first formal test for intelligence in order to help identify children in need of remedial education. In the United States, the Wechsler intelligence tests are now used more frequently than the Stanford-Binet and IQ scores are now based on individual deviation IQ scores rather than a ratio. The Wechsler tests are designed for specific age groups and can be administered individually. With regards to memory, many students will find the material on memory among the most valuable in this course. It specifically shows how to improve your memory and get more out of your time studying without having to spend more time studying. The trick lies in how you go about trying to remember things. The human memory is a complex topic. Everyone wants to improve memory (especially around test time!), but can it be done? Actually, there are a number of things students (and nonstudents) can do to improve their memory. We will cover some of the better ones as well as take a look at why we forget things in the first place. Please review your reading. Does memory relate to intelligence? Explain.
