Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Psychology - Learning Psychology, Intelligence Research, grade: 20, University of St Andrews, language: English, abstract: Researchers widely disagree on a common definition of intelligence(Sternberg & Berg, 1986), conceptually describing it as 'a general capacity forinferring and applying relationships drawn from experience' (Herrnstein &Murray, 1994), emphasizing that 'it is not merely book learning []; [it is] abroader and deeper capability for comprehending our surroundings []'(Gottfredson, 1997). In stark contrast are more operational definitions basedon psychometric intelligence measures, such as 'Intelligence is what the teststest' (Boring, 1923), or 'a person's score on a statistically determined set ofquestions' (Herrnstein & Murray, 1994). Although having supported thetheoretical development of intelligence, psychometric tests have beencriticized for their over-simplification, inaccuracies and potential misuse(Nisbett et al, 2012). This essay will focus on evaluating potential benefits anddrawbacks of using psychometric intelligence tests to help define intelligence,concentrating on the most dominant 'IQ' test, for which the bulk of evidenceexists.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Psychology - Methods, grade: 20, University of St Andrews, course: Behavioural Economics, language: English, abstract: This review essay explores different perspectives and conceptualizationsof the study of heuristics, decision-making rules which operate under constrainedtime and computation (Kahneman, 2011). Two opposed models of heuristics thatassume conditions of bounded rationality, the heuristics-and-biases and the fastand-frugal framework, are assessed. Whereas the former evaluates heuristics interms of logical rationality and postulates that humans exhibit predictablefallacies in judgement, the latter focuses on ecological validity, and suggests thathumans possess an adaptive toolbox of evolutionary developed decision-makingrules which enable better decision making. Finally, alternative explanations andlimitations of existing research programs will be explored, concluding with ademand for a rigorous evaluation of experimental designs as well as outliningconditions for a possible synthesis. 36 pp. Englisch.…
