Cause and Correlation Vergia Wallace PSY/285 March 8‚ 2013 Dr. Elizabeth Brook Morford The difference between causation and correlation is extremely significant in systematic thought.

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).

COEFFICIENT OF RESTITUTION The coefficient of restitution (e or COR) is defined as a number that serves as an index of elasticity for colliding bodies (Hall‚ 2012). Essentially‚ it measures the rebound of a ball after a collision with another object‚ like a golf club striking a stationary golf ball. A perfectly elastic ball will have a COR of 1‚ and a perfectly plastic ball will have a COR of 0. In golf‚ the coefficient of restitution comes into play when the club head impacts the ball‚ and
