| Summary |
This course begins with the challenge of defining intelligence for scientific study. Savants show one aspect of specific mental abilities, but there is also strong evidence that all mental abilities have a common general factor of intelligence-- called "g". Measuring "g" and other factors of intellegence depends mostly on IQ-type tests, which the course will explain, including what these tests do and do not measure. |
