How does a person’s IQ connect with how
early they learned to talk?
**Why I am
interested: I babysat 2 kids back in Indiana, a 3 year old and 1 year old. The
3 year old had the IQ of a 6 year old while the 1 year was struggle to make any
advances. It made me wonder what these 2 boys would be like as they age.
Average IQ is said to be between 85-100, but…
1- How accurate is an IQ test really?
·
Same score every time, every test would be ideal but is not the
case
·
Normally test what is culturally significant, not one’s core
intelligence
2- Is a child
that speaks late a late learner?
·
Alison Gopnik: What do babies think?
o
·
Babies who cannot speak were able to tell what a person did or
did not like (crackers vs. broccoli)
3- Did those we
consider “geniuses” learn to talk at an early age?
·
Albert Einstein
o
Slow learner, parents even consulted doctor
o
Tended to think in pictures rather than words
