Welcome to today’s lecture on intelligence, where we delve deeper into modern theories and process-oriented perspectives. Building on our previous discussion of foundational theories like Spearman’s Two-Factor Theory and Guilford’s Structure of Intellect Model, we now explore the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) Model, which distinguishes between crystallized and fluid intelligence, providing a comprehensive framework for cognitive abilities. Additionally, we’ll examine process theories like Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory, which outlines stages of intellectual growth, and the PASS Model, focusing on the dynamic cognitive processes of planning, attention, and problem-solving. Finally, we will discuss Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory, which emphasizes analytical, creative, and practical intelligence, offering a holistic view of human cognitive functioning. Together, these theories offer a nuanced understanding of intelligence, highlighting both the components and the processes that drive cognitive abilities.
