Problem SolvingCurrent LectureI. IntelligenceIntelligence is the measure of how much a person is able to access their brain and use it for things such as problem solving, recalling informa-tion, deductive reasoning, and other such activities. Intelligence can be measured in different ways, including the Binet-Simon Intelligence Test and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence test. The Binet-Simon intelligence test takes your mental age, and divides it by your chronological age, and the result is your measure of intelligence. The Stanford-Binet intelligence test is a revi-sion of the Binet-Simon scale and measures one’s IQ. The Wechsler Adult In-telligence Scale measures ones verbal IQ, performance IQ, and full scale IQ, which is the combined result of the former two measurements.Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences is the theory that human be-ings have several different types of intelligences inside their brain, and that they are each used for different things. Because of this, he believed that each level of intelligence differed from each other, and some could be higheror lower than the rest. These types of intelligence were linguistic, logical/mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily/kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. II. CreativityThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Creativity is the ability of someone to use their intelligence to create new things and the use of the imagination to develop new and original ideas,mostly in the artistic form. People have attempted to measure creativity, al-though it is much more difficult to measure than intelligence. The divergent production test, developed by Guilford, and the remote associates test, de-veloped by Mednick and Mednick, are two examples of creativity tests devel-oped in the mid 1900’s. Creativity can be enhanced by brainstorming, or thecombining of many ideas. This allows someone to actively plan and think outtheir ideas into a clear plan of action. It can also be enhanced by Incubation,which is the subconscious thought about a topic helping to generate less bi-ased ideas.III. Problem SolvingProblem solving is an algorithm made up by the brain to allow some-one to come up with the conclusion to a conundrum or problem. It is also known as “Rules of Thumb” or educated guesses. This is how most people solve a soduku puzzle. Trial and error is another type of problem solving, studied by Thorndike and Kholer, which involves trying new things to solve the problem until the problem is solved. Fluid intelligence is solving new problems with creative thinking, or using unorthodox solutions to solving problems. Fluid intelligence decreases with age. Crystallized intelligence is the use of already learned skills to solve problems. This increases with
