Could we predict the success? Person versus Task. Skills and Abilities

1. 2.First Problem of HBT
HBT for Pindex
by Jacob Feldman

2. Person versus Task
Person Task
Central Problem of HBT is as follows
Could we predict Success OF the Person AT the Task?

3. Two kinds of prediction
Short time prediction
Success now?
Current state of mind
Long time prediction
High probablity of success in long-run
study
Long-lasting personality
features

4. There are two kinds of personality features in long-
run study
Skills
- everything you can
change (improve) by
training
Abilities
- everything you cannot
(or must not) change by
training
1. Some scholars suggest that everything could be changed by training i.e. set of abilities is empty.
- I do not agree with them
2. I believe that a person at age of 12 has stable set of abilities for the rest of his/her life
- And we must study the set
3. Features of person AND demands of task ARE THE SAME

5. Universum of Abilities is 3+Dimensional
Modalities
Complexity
Timing
3+ means that some dimensions shown
could be splitted in a few more dimensions

6. Models for Abilities
1. Complexity = Levels of Abstract Intelligence Model
2. Timing = Warming-Up Model
3. Modalities of information
a. Input modalities model
b. Processing modalities model
c. Output modalities model
4. Personal integrity
a. Semispheres model

7. Afterwords
1. Every model mentioned above will
be presented in later lessons
2. HBT takes in account much more
problems than it was shown above
- as we will see it later
3. HBT is intented to cover ALL
human-related problems
ever defined
