Insights on Adult Intelligence Development: Cross-Sectional & Longitudinal Studies, Measurement Methods, Emotional Intel

Explore the ongoing research on adult intelligence development, including cross-sectional studies showing steady decline and improvements through the 50s, and longitudinal studies raising questions about cohort effects. Discover measurement approaches like the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III) and the Stanford-Binet Test, examining their validity and the distribution of scores. Understand the impact of biology, environment, and emotional intelligence on test scores, and delve into Daniel Goleman’s influential model of emotional intelligence presented in his book "Emotional Intelligence" (1995).

Presentation Transcript

  1. Research on development of adult intelligence • Cross-sectional studies: • Steady decline • Cohort effect? • Longitudinal studies: • Continued improvement through 50s • Problems? • Cross-sequential • Replace drop outs • Improves through 50s

  2. Reseach on development continued • Basic skills decline to age 25 at: • Verbal meaning: 74 • Inductive reasoning: 67 • Spatial orientation: 67 • Word fluency: 60 • Issue of “use it or lose it” recommendations

  3. Current approaches to measurement • Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III). Measures 4 domains: • Verbal • Nonverbal/spatial • Working memory • Processing speed

  4. Measurement continued • Stanford-Binet Test of Intelligence • Verbal • Quantitative (math) • Spatial reasoning • Short-term memory Distribution of scores x = 100, SD = 15 or 16

  5. Validity of IQ scores? • Predict school performance • Predict educational level • Predict occupational success • Only account for 25% of variance

  6. What affects intelligence test scores? • Biology • Environment • Remember nature/nurture interactions • culture

  7. Emotional intelligence • Ability to reason about emotions • Recognize the meaning of emotions • Use those emotions to facilitate thinking • Manage them

  8. Model of emotional intelligence • 4 branch model of EIQ: • Perceiving emotion • Using emotion to facilitate thought • Understanding emotions • Managing emotions Daniel Goleman’s book Emotional Intelligence (1995)
