Appropriate Operational Thought
PART II: Short Essay (5 points each): Answer ONLY FIVE of the following questions. Answers need to be a MINIMUM of 1 paragraph, using correct grammar, spelling, and sentence composition (i.e. no bullets or lists).
1. Identify three ways in which formal operational thought differs from concrete operational thought. Within the concrete operational thought, children begin to classify and reason logically. Whereas, reasoning within formal operational thought tends to be more idealistic, logical and abstract than in concrete operational though. Furthermore, concrete operational thought is manifested between the ages of 7 and 11, and formal operational hereafter (ages 11 and up).
2. Describe two ways that adults think in qualitatively different ways …show more content…
Describe three types of mental strategies that may improve recall.
6. List three ways in which experts are different from novices.
7. Why should results from IQ tests be used with caution? How does culture play a role? IQ tests may be biased when it comes to language and culture. They also do not test all possible areas of talent or gifting. Culture indeed plays a role. For example a child growing up in the Caribbean may not know what a ‘chimney-sweep’ is in an IQ vocabulary test because there are no chimneys (or need for such) in the Caribbean.
8. What is emotional intelligence (EI)? Give an example of someone with strong versus weak EI. Emotional intelligence describes an individual’s ability to recognize their own, as well as, emotions of others. Which will aid in differentiating feelings appropriately, by using emotional information to guide behavior and thinking. Someone with a weak emotional intelligence would easily curse or cry to others at the workplace when he or she does not get their way. Whereas a strong emotional intelligent person would not; they would control their feelings and not throw tantrums in public.
9. What can we safely say about the nature versus nurture debate regarding intelligence? What are genetic factors?
