1. How does intelligence develop? Nature OR Nurture?
(Genetic Influences)
Nurture
(Environmental Influences)

2. Nature or Nurture?
"Mother Nature has plainly not entrusted the determination of our intellectual capacities to the blind fate of a gene or genes; she gave us parents, learning, language, culture and education to program ourselves with."

3. Nature or Nurture?
it would be "quite practicable to produce a high gifted race of men by judicious marriages during several consecutive generations."

4. Nature or Nurture?
"Give me a dozen healthy infants & my own specific world to bring them up in, & I'll guarantee to take any one at random & train him to become any type of specialist I might select - doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant, chef & yes, even beggar & thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors."

5. Nature or Nurture?
"Well-controlled adoption studies done in France have found that transferring an infant from a family having low socioeconomic status (SES) to a home where parents have high SES improves childhood IQ scores by 12 to 16 points or about one standard deviation, which is considered a large effect size in psychological research."

6. Nature or Nurture?
“Genetic influences, brain chemistry, and neurological development contribute strongly to who we are as children and what we become as adults. For example, tendencies to excessive worrying or timidity, leadership qualities, risk taking, obedience to authority, all appear to have a constitutional aspect.”

7. Nature or Nurture?
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”

14. The Nature-Nurture Debate
Pre-Programmed
"Tabula Rasa" - Blank Slate
Heredity
Environment
"Pushed" By Inner Biology
"Pulled" By External Incentives
Biologically Predisposed
Socially Constructed
"Some People Have Just Got It!"
"Experience Is Everything!"
"Some People Are Gifted."
"Hard Work Brings Good Things."
Nurture Works On What Nature Endows!!!

16. “Flynn Effect”
What assertion does Flynn make regarding how the concept of intelligence changes from generation to generation?

17. The Flynn Effect IQ scores increase from 1 generation to the next.
This is evident for ALL countries for which data exists.
