P/F Writing Assignment for Day 15
1. Based on what you have read so far, to what extent do you think the new infant tests measure differences in g? Please explain.
2. To what extent do they seem consistent with socioeducational explanations of intelligence differences? With biological theories of intelligence differences?
3. The Deary reading (and the two recommended ones on aging) describes how fluid g declines with age beginning in early to mid adulthood. By old age, the decrements become substantial. In your view, how might this mental decline affect how older people function and behave in everyday life, how their relatives perceive them, and thus how these family members interact with one another?
