Science Café Cleveland presents
"Intelligence begins at infancy: How we know it, and what difference does it make?"
MARCH 9, 2009
FEATURING:
Dr. Joseph Fagan
听(Dept. of Psychology, 黑料吃瓜网)
and
Dr. Cindy Holland
听(Dept. of Psychology, Tri-C)
EVENT INFORMATION:
Intelligence is information processing ability. Selective attention to novelty is a way to measure information processing ability (intelligence) during infancy. Selective attention to novelty during infancy predicts later IQ, disproving the traditional theory of Jean Piaget that the nature of intelligence changes with age.
The new view of intelligence as information processing ability allows the identification of infants most in need of help, can reveal intellectual strength now masked by other handicap, aids in the discovery of the causes of intellectual disability, makes the development of a valid, culture-fair test of intelligence possible and provides a means to study the biochemical bases of intelligence.
Come join experts from 黑料吃瓜网 and Cuyahoga Community College to delve into these and other facinating issues related to intelligence and "intelligence tests"!
