Unit Four Individual Project Charles Spearman’s model of intelligence and Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory are two of the most widely used theories of intelligence. In order to understand how similar the two theories are we must first understand their differences. These two men differed in opinion on how IQ and intelligence should be measured‚ and they differed in opinion on what made a person "smart". In order to examine these things they first had to understand the human brain and

Charles Spearman is undoubtedly a prominent figure in the history of science‚ especially in terms of introducing statistical methods to psychology (Deary‚ Lawn & Bartholomew‚ 2008)‚ but also because of his impact on intelligence theories. This might be the reason why‚ unlike any other theorists of his time‚ his citation rates did not drop after his death‚ but actually are still increasing showing his undeniable contribution to the most recent scientific disputes (Jensen‚ 2000). Spearman was born

Charles Edward Spearman (1863-1945) studied psychology in Germany and received his PhD at Leipzig. Spearman is noted as a pioneer in psychology and believed in the two-factor theory of intelligence. He wrote his first paper outlining this theory in 1904 with Bernard Hart (Gregory‚ 1987). Spearman claimed that testing a persons abilites to complete tasks against expected outcomes could be measured and expressed in a mathemactical formula‚ that mathematical formula is now known as the Tetrad Equation

compare and contrast Spearman ’s Model of Intelligence and Gardner ’s Multiple Intelligence models. One theory of intelligence states that there is one general school of thought and the other theory believes there are multiple schools of thought. Spearman ’s general ability‚ or a "g" factor‚ believe that this is the only factor that measures intelligence‚ whereas‚ Gardner ’s multiple intelligence believes there are more than one factor (Wade & Tavris‚ 2006‚ pp. 322 & 328). Spearman ’s theory is supported

Unit 4 Sternberg‚ Spearman‚ and Gardner Models of Intelligence Aspects Psychology 206 In 1949 Robert Stenberg was born and is presently alive today. Robert J. Sternberg’s stunning study profession in psychology had quite an unpromising beginning; similar to a lot of the psychologists‚ his attention in human intelligence started at an early age. In the situation of Dr. Sternberg’s‚ nevertheless‚ the attention was deeply personal. In elementary school he performed poorly on IQ tests

Spearman vs. Gardner Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences suggests that there are seven different forms of intelligence. They are Linguistic intelligence which involves sensitivity to spoken and written language‚ the ability to learn languages‚ and the capacity to use language to accomplish certain goals. Logical-mathematical intelligence consists of the capacity to analyze problems logically‚ carry out mathematical operations‚ and investigate issues scientifically. In Howard Gardner’s

He invented the first form of factor analysis‚ and proposed a two-factor theory of intelligence. He had sort of a math formula that said every activity involves a general factor plus a specific factor. (G + S). From these theories‚ he said that people who do well on intelligence tests

Measuring Intelligence Individual differences Discuss the main issues involved in defining and measuring intelligence Since the end of the nineteenth century psychologists were studding intelligence and they were trying to find the answer what is the intelligence and how it can be measure? Psychologists have /made a huge progress in the development of measuring intelligence but a little progress in defining intelligence. I will first outline the main issue involved in defining intelligence. I

Apart from testing intelligence‚ researchers were also interested in the question of what intelligence actually is. Today’s theories about intelligence are based on four approaches: 1) Psychometric theories try to answer the questions what forms intelligence takes and what its parts are. Important examples of such theories‚ mostly based on data collected from paper-and-pencil tests are: the Standford-Binet and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales (both for adults and children). Using data from such
