1			Your psychology instructor notes one can find a large number of sites with IQ tests, including tests for emotional IQ, sports IQ, trivia IQ, social IQ, musical IQ, and tests for IQs in a variety of other areas, on the Web. As an extra credit assignment the instructor challenges the class to write a two-page paper indicating whose theoretical stance about intelligence could encompass such IQ concepts and how it would do so. What stance would you pick and why? How does that stance encompass the above IQ concepts? http://www.libsci.sc.edu/miller/Gardner.htm http://www.wilderdom.com/personality/L2-2SternbergTriarchicTheory.html http://www.wilderdom.com/personality/L1-5KeyPlayers.html
2			Suppose your roommate complains that there is too much material to learn in her classes, and she notes that she has trouble getting all the information into memory.

What means would you suggest your roommate use to improve getting information into memory? http://www.memory.uva.nl/memimprovement/eng/ http://www.memory-key.com/Articles/mem_progs_rarely_work.htm
3			Adolescent cognitive abilities, egocentrism, and perspective-taking are likely linked. As cognitive abilities increase and egocentrism decreases, perspective-taking is assumed to become more accurate. Is it possible to target adolescent perspective-taking directly? Should we intervene? If so, how? If not, why not? http://www.ianr.unl.edu/ianr/fcs/upsdowns/upsmay99.htm http://www.communityofcaring.org/AboutCofC/resultsandresearch.html
