Freud Current LectureRecent theories of Intelligence- Sternberg’s Triarchicial theory- Information processing: assessed in IQ test- Knowledge that you’ve learned in the past- Creative Intelligence: problem solving and the ability to generate new ideas, or respond to novel problems.- Practical Intelligence: being able to adapt to every day life. Social intelligence.-Analytical, creative, and practical- Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory-Linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, body-kinesthetic, interpersonal, interpersonal, and naturalistic- Argues that there are 8 separate domains of intelligence: linguistic, mathematical intelligence, spatial skills, musical intelligence, physical intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence or insight, body-kinesthetic, naturalistic intelligence. - Observed people with great skills like savants, or prodigies, brain damage. Decision Making- Theory of founded rationality: not covered- Choice overload: choice comes with sacrifices. Over amount of info can deplete your mental resources, making you feel overwhelmed. - Shwarts’s said modern society bombards people with information. - Deliberation without attention: something complicated will be decided faster asit becomes more complex. When people are faced with complex choices they tend to make better decisions, if they don’t devote careful attention to he matter.- The availability heuristic: estimating the probability of event such as “ing” and “n” based on the ease of recalling instances. Making decisions based on what comes to mind. - Representative heuristic: refers to estimating the probability of an event to how similar it is to a certain prototype. Ex: Reality TV performer, even though they are less reality TV performer than there are lawyers and doctors. –Ignoring base rate information. - Simulation heuristic: relies on the ease of constructing alternate scenarios. Determining the like hood of an event based on how easy you can picture itmentally.- Conjunction fallacy: The odds of two things happening together are greaterthan the odds of either of them happening alone. - Loss aversion: people tend to think, that loses will have more impact on them than gains of equal size. Personality theories: - Definition: a stable disposition or tendency to behave in a particular way across situations and time. - Consistency: personality traits are the same across time and situation- Distinctiveness: they are individual differences in personality traits, you can distinguish between traits.Psychodynamic theory: overview- Levels of consciousness- Conscious, preconscious, and unconscious- If the unconscious is important than how do you access it.- Freud focused on the unconscious and how it developed over time. - Techniques used to get the unconscious- Free association: whatever comes to mind (the more they talk, less will be censored, the more you do it the less you’ll worry about what you’re saying and the truth will come out.- Interpretation of dreams- Dreams:- Manifest content- Latent
