| A) | Schools spend too much time getting students to give a single correct answer in an imitative way, rather than encouraging them to think critically.
|
| B) | There are eight types of intelligence, or "frames of mind."
|
| C) | Described three cognitive processes involved in being able to read a printed word: 1) Being aware of sound units in words, 2) decoding words, 3) accessing word meaning
|
| D) | People who excel at one type of intellectual task are likely to excel at others.
|
| E) | Developed the first test to determine which children would do well in school. Also developed the concept of mental age (MA).
|
| F) | Inclusion too often has meant making accommodations in the regular classroom that do not always benefit children with disabilities
|
| G) | Most high-IQ children in this researcher's study were socially well-adjusted and went on to become successful professionals.
|
| H) | Gifted children are precocious, march to their own drummer, and have a passion to master. Too often, children who are gifted are socially isolated and underchallenged in the classroom.
|
| I) | Mindfulness is an important aspect of thinking critically.
|
| J) | Distinguished between divergent thinking and convergent thinking
|
| K) | Created the major alternative to the Stanford-Binet intelligence test. Provides not only an overall IQ score but also yields several composite indexes that allow determination of strong or weak areas.
|
| L) | Studied the worldwide increase in intelligence test scores.
|
| M) | With colleagues, conducted the Abecedarian Intervention program at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, which demonstrated that environment makes a difference in intellectual abilities of a child
|
| N) | Developed the triarchic theory of intelligence
|
| O) | Developed a "fuzzy trace theory," which says that memory is best understood by considering two types of representations—verbatim memory trace and gist.
|
| P) | The prefrontal cortex coordinates the best neural connections for solving a problem at hand.
|
| Q) | Autism reflects an extreme male brain, especially indicative of males' less effective ability to show empathy and read facial expressions and gestures than girls.

| R) | Children can reason logically as long as reasoning can be applied to specific or concrete examples.
