AP Psychology
Unit 6 – Developmental Psychology
Topic 6.5
How has the concept of intelligence changed in older adults over time?
It was first considered genetic, then environmental, and now it's seen as fixed.
It was originally viewed as unchangeable but is now seen as improving with age.
It's now understood as a multi-faceted construct rather than a single ability.
The concept hasn't changed; it has always been measured by IQ tests.
