Charles Spearman
Gardners
Thurnstone
Sternburg triarchic
Galton - Galton's
binet Idae
-
Thurstone's 7 independent intelligence factors were clustered as "primary mental abilities":
Word Fluency
Verbal Comprehension
Spatial Ability
Perceptual Speed
Numerical Ability
Inductive Reasoning
Memory
Gardner's 8 intelligence factors were much more related to specific talents and he received criticism for it. They also came later than Thurstone:
Linguistic (exemplar: T.S. Eliot)
Logical-mathematical (exemplar: Einstein)
Musical (exemplar: Stravinsky)Spatial (exemplar: Picasso)
Bodily-kinesthetic (exemplar: Michael Jackson)
Intrapersonal (exemplar: Freud)
Interpersonal (exemplar: Gandhi)
Naturalist (exemplar: Darwin)
Basically, Thurstone's factors were better than the overarching g factor that Spearman proposed, but they also clustered a bit so not entirely independent.Gardner's 8 factors were nice because they accounted for more varied intelligences like kinesthetics, etc; BUT critics said some of these were simply talents and not necessarily rooted in intelligence.

increase over the course of study
- wk 1- no reward so no increase
- wk2 - increase
- wk 3- increase some more because variable ratio is the most effective in increasing frequency (gambling)

The length of an error bar indicates the uncertainty of the value. For example, for an average value, a long error bar means that the concentration of the values the average was calculated on is low, and thus that the average value is uncertain. Conversely, a short error bar means that the concentration of values is high, and thus, that the average value is more certain.
