Session 5 'Intelligence and Memory'

​​2023’s five monthly sessions have taken us from psychological concepts to applying the concepts in everyday life.  We are closing 2023 with a look at “Intelligence and Memory”. The famously brilliant and influential Einstein describes “Intelligence” as “the ability to think, to learn from experience, to solve problems, and to adapt to new situations.” ^

Memory, on the other hand, is “the process of forming a memory involves encoding, storing, retaining and subsequently recalling information and past experiences.” *

The two constructs generally work well together .. until they don’t. The dates provided in the previous report were “wonky” and created confusion. To those group members who enjoy a good relationship with their memory/intelligences .. thank you for your patience!
​
The session PowerPoint, which is available below, includes:

• Puzzles
• Videos
• Theories of intelligence
• How to do quantitative reasoning
• Problems with IQ tests ..

……. and much more to ponder over as you enjoy a cuppa.
