.What is the relationship between cultures (e.g., ethnic background) and intelligence? How do cultures define intelligence? How are intelligence assessed in different cultures? How do cultures influence test performance on an intelligence test? Identify and discuss ONE controversial issue pertaining to cultures and intelligence. Identify ONE intelligence test - provide a description of this test (e.g., how was it developed, psychometric properties of this test, norming populations, etc.). Is this a culturally-appropriate intelligence test? Why or why not?

What do you think really sets humans apart from other primates? 2. What do we still share with our primate relatives? (These can be biological or behavioral. Think back to our lecture slides about anatomy, social systems, adaptation and behavior)

Which of the following is the most accurate and complete statement about this "purposefulness?" a. Purposeful behavior represents the strategies that are most successful in replicating the design information that builds those behaviors, arising in deliberate pursuit of biological reproduction. b. Purposeful behavior reflects the inherent purposefulness of the entire universe, representing the drive by...
