Gardner proposed that there are multiple types of intelligence, including linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic.
Thorndike believed that intelligence is a combination of innate abilities, such as memory and attention, and learned abilities, such as problem solving and reasoning.
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test is an example of a verbal intelligence test that assesses an individual's understanding of vocabulary words through the use of pictures.
Mental age is a concept used in intelligence testing to compare an individual's intellectual level to the average intellectual level of individuals at a certain age. This concept was developed by Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon in the early 20th century as part of their development of the Binet-Simon Scale.
Alexander's pass along test is an example of a non-verbal or performance intelligence test. This test measures spatial intelligence by requiring the test-taker to copy a series of increasingly complex designs.
A gifted child is typically defined as a child who has an IQ score of 130 or above. This means that the child's intellectual ability is in the top 2.5% of the population.
Gifted children are often characterized by their exceptional creativity, problem-solving skills, and curiosity.
One measure that can be taken to solve the problems of gifted children is to offer them opportunities for acceleration, such as skipping grades or taking advanced classes.
Backwardness in children may be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors may include developmental disorders such as Down syndrome, while environmental factors may include poor nutrition, lack of early stimulation, and inadequate educational opportunities.
Providing special education and remedial classes can help backward children catch up with their peers and improve their academic performance. Other measures may include individualized attention, counseling, and support from parents and teachers.
