Heritability appears in many texts in school. Heritability statistics rose from the work of Galton. It is a group statistic that makes no sense to apply to an individual. Heritability is the extent to which differences in the appearance of a trait across several people can be accounted for by differences in their genes. Heritability does not reflect the extent to which traits will be passed down from parent to offspring. The estimates usually come from twin studies. If IQ is very heritable, it means that individuals with the same genes have similar IQs and individuals with different genes have relatively different IQs. Problems arise when what IQ doesn?t mean is considered.

Chapter 8 Cognition and Intelligence Glossary Availability heuristic Basing the estimated probability of an event on the ease with which relevant instances come to mind. Bounded rationality The idea that people tend to use simple strategies in decision making that focus on only a few facets of available options and often result in ?irrational? decisions that are less than optimal. See Theory of bounded rationality. Conjunction fallacy An error that occurs when people estimate that the odds of two uncertain events happening together are greater than the odds of either event happening alone. Convergent thinking Narrowing down a list of alternatives to converge on a single correct answer. Correlation coefficient

Module 33: Genetic and Environmental Influences on Intelligence 33-1 Genetic Influences people who share the same genes also share comparable mental abilities intelligence test scores of identical twins raised together are virtually the same brain scans indicate identical twins have the same gray matter volume adopted children?s intelligence scores become more like those of their biological parents over time and identical twins similarities continue or increase into their 80s. aka genes influence a lot. heritability ? the proportion of variation among individuals that we can attribute to genes. The heritability of a trait may vary, depending on the range of populations and environments studied. If environments become more equal, the heritability of intelligence would INCREASE

IQ
General Factor

Intelligence Intelligence = ability to learn from experiences. But in research studies, intelligence is what intelligence tests measure. Reification: reasoning error where we view an abstract, immaterial concept as if it were a concrete thing (judging people by their IQ scores). IQ Test, Stanford-Binet Test: mental age divided by real age x 100 Intelligence is always expressed in context (medicine, music, art, warriors) Factor analysis ? a statistical method that identifies a variety of related factors in a test.

Mental Age ? a measure of intelligence test performance devised by Binet; the chronological age that most typically corresponds to a given level of performance. Thus, a child who does as well as the average 8-year-old is said to have a mental age of 8. Stanford-Binet ? the widely used American revision (by Terman at Stanford University) of Binet?s original intelligence test.
