Intelligence is the ability to…
• Learn
get, keep, use knowledge & skills
• Recognize problems
that need solving
• Solve problems
applying knowledge creatively

Intelligence Today
Classify
Use logic on abstractions
Consider the
hypothetical
© Romina Marazzato Sparano 2019
How do we measure Intelligence?
• IQ Tests & the Bell Curve
• Flynn Effect & Reversal

Linguistic Understanding
Double articulation: meaningful & meaningless units
“bed” = & “bed” = /b/ + /e/ + /d/
Distinctive features
Building blocks of speech sounds
Voiced > b ð d g ʒ dʒ l m n ŋ r v z + vowels
Voiceless > f k p s t θ ʃ tʃ
Building blocks of writing: /l/ = l [el] but /l + ¯/ = t [tee]
Arbitrariness
bed / cama / lit / etc.

Use of Metaphor
Conceptual metaphors
 Structure most basic understanding of experience
 Shape perceptions & actions without us noticing
 Metaphors We Live By - Lakoff & Johnson
• Time is Money: spend/save time
• Status has height: lofty/lowly position
Teaching thinking by analogy
• Explain how MRI works

Editor's Notes

  1. Comparing the potential for normal performance in terms of intelligence and the health literacy numbers shows us that we have room for improvement. As you may know, intelligence refers to the ability to classify the world, use logic on abstractions, and consider the hypothetical in order to solve problems. Intelligence, like any natural phenomena, follows a Gaussian distribution that takes the shape of a bell curve. The crown and shoulders of the curve represent most people’s intelligence and the tapering ends represent below and above normal intelligence. Even when we take into account the reversal of the Flynn, IQ scores still show room for improvement of health literacy. The Flynn Effect refers to the increase in IQ scores throughout the 20th century, while formal education, nutrition, spread of scientific thinking, and a modern life changed how we perceived the world. In the last 4 decades, developed countries have seen a plateauing and even a decrease in scores. Perhaps the return to a concrete, individualistic, and utilitarian mentality, has affected our ability to think logically.
