Theories of Intelligence: Cattell-Horn-Carroll's Theory of Cognitive Abilities

The Cattell-Horn theory of fluid and crystallized intelligence suggests that intelligence is composed of different abilities that interact and work together to produce overall individual intelligence. Fluid intelligence involves being able to think and reason abstractly and solve problems. This ability is considered independent of learning, experience, and education. Crystallized intelligence is based upon facts and rooted in experiences. As we age and accumulate new knowledge and understanding, crystallized intelligence becomes stronger. Carroll's three-stratum theory presented three levels of cognition: narrow abilities (stratum I), broad abilities (stratum II) and general abilities (stratum III).

What are the 4 types of reliability?

1. Test-retest: Test-retest reliability is the degree to which scores are consistent over time. It indicates score variation that occurs from testing session to testing session as a result of errors of measurement. 2. Inter-item reliability (internal consistency):The association of answers to set of questions designed to measure the same concept -Cronbach's alpha is a statistic commonly used to measure inter-item reliability which is based on the average of all the possible correlations of all the split 1/2 s of set of questions on a questionnaire. 3. Split-Half Reliability: Especially appropriate when the test is very long. The most commonly used method to split the test into two is using the odd-even strategy. Since longer tests tend to be more reliable, and since split-half reliability represents the reliability of a test only half as long as the actual test. 4. Inter observer Reliability: Correspondence between measures made by different observers.

A reliability coefficient is defined as...

A measure of the accuracy of a test or measuring instrument obtained by measuring the same individuals twice and computing the correlation of the two sets of measures.

Nominal

A nominal scale describes a variable with categories that do not have a natural order or ranking. You can code nominal variables with numbers if you want, but the order is arbitrary and any calculations, such as computing a mean, median, or standard deviation, would be meaningless. Examples of nominal variables include: genotype, blood type, zip code, gender, race, eye color, political party

Explain Racial Identity Theory

A person's racial self concept as well as his or her belief's, attitudes, and values. Composed of 3 components: 1. Personal ("Who am I?") 2. Affiliative (What happens to other members of racial group happens to them). 3. Reference Group (level of conformance to the norms of the racial group. Identify to a group by age 3).

Ratio

A ratio variable, has all the properties of an interval variable, and also has a clear definition of 0.0. When the variable equals 0.0, there is none of that variable. Examples of ratio variables include: enzyme activity, dose amount, reaction rate, flow rate, concentration, pulse, weight, length, temperature in Kelvin (0.0 Kelvin really does mean "no heat"), survival time. When working with ratio variables, but not interval variables, the ratio of two measurements has a meaningful interpretation. For example, because weight is a ratio variable, a weight of 4 grams is twice as heavy as a weight of 2 grams. However, a temperature of 10 degrees C should not be considered twice as hot as 5 degrees C. If it were, a conflict would be created because 10 degrees C is 50 degrees F and 5 degrees C is 41 degrees F. Clearly, 50 degrees is not twice 41 degrees. Another example, a pH of 3 is not twice as acidic as a pH of 6, because pH is not a ratio variable.

Explain Super's Life Span/Life Space Theory

According to Super, a career consists of the varying roles people take on during their lives. The life-career rainbow (or career rainbow model) brings together both the roles played in life (the life space) with the five developmental stages or structures of life (the life span).

How would the counselor's behavior be different in facilitating an experiential group as compared to an educational group?

An educational group has a prescribed course lesson and process as a goal. An experiential group does not have an objective or lesson, but is solely process oriented.

Interval

An interval scale is one where there is order and the difference between two values is meaningful. Examples of interval variables include: temperature (Farenheit), temperature (Celcius), pH, SAT score (200-800), credit score (300-850).

Ordinal

An ordinal scale is one where the order matters but not the difference between values. Examples of ordinal variables include: socio economic status ("low income","middle income","high income"), education level ("high school","BS","MS","PhD"), income level ("less than 50K", "50K-100K", "over 100K"), satisfaction rating ("extremely dislike", "dislike", "neutral", "like", "extremely like"). Note the differences between adjacent categories do not necessarily have the same meaning. For example, the difference between the two income levels "less than 50K" and "50K-100K" does not have the same meaning as the difference between the two income levels "50K-100K" and "over 100K".

Define "Questioning"

Asking open and close ended questions. Asking for clarification of meaning. Asking for info known only to the client. Asking to understand the client's experiences better.

Theories of Intelligence: Spearman's General Intelligence

Intelligence = General Factor: single pervasive reasoning ability used on a wide variety of tasks. Specific Factors: number of narrow abilities involved in executing particular tasks. British psychologist Charles Spearman (1863-1945) described a concept he referred to as general intelligence or the g factor. After using a technique known as factor analysis to examine some mental aptitude tests, Spearman concluded that scores on these tests were remarkably similar. People who performed well on one cognitive test tended to perform well on other tests, while those who scored badly on one test tended to score badly on others. He concluded that intelligence is a general cognitive ability that can be measured and numerically expressed Children's performance on any given task depends on the general factor and specific factors the task involves.

Theories of Intelligence: Distributed Intelligence

Intelligent behaviors depend on the following support mechanisms: -physical -social -cultural Children distribute thinking in 3 ways. -Use physical objects to manipulate large amounts of information (physical). -Work with others to explore ideas and solve problems (social). -Represent and think about situations they encounter using various symbolic tolls (cultural).

What is internal consistency reliability?

Internal consistency reliability is a way to gauge how well a test or survey is actually measuring what you want to measure. Is your test measuring what it's supposed to?

Internal Validity is...

Internal validity occurs when it can be concluded that there is a causal relationship between the variables being studied. It is related to the design of the experiment.

How does empathy differ from interpretation?

Interpretations are generated within the counselor, so they are new to the client. Empathy responses reflect something the client is experiencing and would recognize.

Describe Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development

Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development suggests that children move through four different stages of mental development. His theory focuses not only on understanding how children acquire knowledge, but also on understanding the nature of intelligence.1 Piaget's stages are: -Sensorimotor stage: birth to 2 years -Preoperational stage: ages 2 to 7 -Concrete operational stage: ages 7 to 11 -Formal operational stage: ages 12 and up Piaget believed that children take an active role in the learning process, acting much like little scientists as they perform experiments, make observations, and learn about the world. As kids interact with the world around them, they continually add new knowledge, build upon existing knowledge, and adapt previously held ideas to accommodate new information.

Explain Holland's Theory of Vocational Choice/Typology Model

John Holland's Theory of Career Choice (RIASEC) maintains that in choosing a career, people prefer jobs where they can be around others who are like them. They search for environments that will let them use their skills and abilities, and express their attitudes and values, while taking on enjoyable problems and roles. Behaviour is determined by an interaction between personality and environment. Holland's theory is centred on the notion that most people fit into one of six personality types: -Realistic -Investigative -Artistic -Social -Enterprising -Conventional.

Theories of Intelligence: Gardner's Multiple Intelligences

One of the more recent ideas to emerge is Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. Gardner proposed that the traditional idea of intelligence, based on IQ testing, did not fully and accurately depict a person's abilities. His theory proposed eight different intelligences based on skills and abilities that are valued in different cultures: -Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence: The ability to control your body movements and to handle objects skillfully -Interpersonal intelligence: The capacity to detect and respond appropriately to the moods, motivations, and desires of others -Intrapersonal intelligence: The capacity to be self-aware and in tune with inner feelings, values, beliefs, and thinking processes -Logical-mathematical intelligence: The ability to think conceptually and abstractly, and the capacity to discern logically or numerical patterns -Musical intelligence: The ability to produce and appreciate rhythm, pitch, and timbre -Naturalistic intelligence: The ability to recognize and categorize animals, plants, and other objects in nature -Verbal-linguistic intelligence: Well-developed verbal skills and sensitivity to the sounds, meanings, and rhythms of words -Visual-spatial intelligence: The capacity to think in images and pictures, to visualize accurately and abstractly Gardner's perspective offers the possibility that the majority of children are intelligent in one way or another.

Predictive Validity is...

How does No Child Left Behind address the needs of students with disabilities?

Providing modifications (changing curriculum) and accommodations (equal access)

Theories of Intelligence: Thurstone's Primary Mental Abilities

Psychologist Louis L.Thurstone (1887-1955) offered a differing theory of intelligence. Instead of viewing intelligence as a single, general ability, Thurstone's theory focused on seven different primary mental abilities. -Associative memory: The ability to memorize and recall -Numerical ability: The ability to solve arithmetic problems -Perceptual speed: The ability to see differences and similarities among objects -Reasoning: The ability to find rules -Spatial visualization: The ability to visualize relationships -Verbal comprehension: The ability to define and understand words -Word fluency: The ability to produce words rapidly

Theories of Intelligence: Sternberg's Triarchic Theory

Psychologist Robert Sternberg defined intelligence as "mental activity directed toward purposive adaptation to, selection, and shaping of real-world environments relevant to one's life." While he agreed with Gardner that intelligence is much broader than a single, general ability, he suggested that some of Gardner's types of intelligence are better viewed as individual talents. Sternberg proposed what he referred to as "successful intelligence," which involves three different factors: -Analytical intelligence: Your ability to evaluate information and solve problems -Creative intelligence: Your ability to come up with new ideas -Practical intelligence: Your ability to adapt to a changing environment

How can a counselor become more aware of his or her own values and biases?

The Five-Stage Atkinson, Morten, and Sue's Racial/Cultural Identity Development Model (R/CID) aka the Minority Identity Model:

The Five-Stage Atkinson, Morten, and Sue's Racial/Cultural Identity Development Model (R/CID) aka the Minority Identity Model: (1) conformity (lean toward dominant culture and prefer a counselor from the dominant culture); (2) dissonance (question and confusion, prefer a counselor from a minority group); (3) resistance and immersion (reject the dominant culture while accepting one's own culture); (4) introspection (mixed feelings related to the previous stage, prefer a counselor from one's own racial/ethnic group); and (5) synergetic articulation and awareness (stop racial and cultural oppression, prefers a counselor with a similar attitude or worldview over merely a counselor who is the same race/ ethnicity, but has different beliefs). Not everyone goes through all stages and some individuals never progress beyond the second or third stage. An individual can also go backward.
