Intelligence and experience: A neopiagetian approach

Abstract

An organismic process-structural approach to the classic and modern issues of intelligence and experience is outlined. A Theory of Constructive Operators (TCO) originally designed to explicate Piaget's metatheoretical notions of stages and of equilibration is presented. The theory describes a psychological organism which is a very active semantic-pragmatic system geared to assimilatory praxis. Its organization is bilevel: a situation-bound level of subjective operators (schemes) and a situation-free level constituted either by silent operators (mental effort, learning operators, field factors, affective factors, etc.) or by basic principles which describe the dynamic articulation of subjective and silent operators (the central articulation is a principle of schematic overdetermination of performance). The presentation emphasizes the TCO's epistemological foundations and Piagetian roots. The rules governing its main constructs are given. The presentation is therefore detailed enough to make possible the theory's use and its evaluation. Some of the theory's constructs as well as the illustration of mathematical models derivable from the theory in order to make quantitative predictions in many different types of tasks are however omitted. Experimental-developmental work supporting the TCO is not presented but reference to relevant papers and unpublished dissertations is provided. Relations of the TCO to some recent information-processing models of artificial intelligence and to task analysis are explained. Five basic aspects or conceptions of intelligence are recognized: genotypic (Hebb's intelligence A), phenotypic (Hebb's intelligence B), psychometric (Veruon's intelligence C), developmental (intelligence D) and computer-simulation (i.e., CS) intelligence. All five are briefly discussed and their relations with the TCO's explication of intelligence are briefly mentioned. In this manner we tacitly suggest how the understanding of these various aspects of the complex notion of intelligence can be advanced by means of the TCO. Detailed discussion of this last issue is however beyond the scope of the paper.

Intelligence: A Brief History
Elizabeth Hiser

The issue discussed in this paper is the loss of meaning for the expressionintelligence'. The term taken from everyday language has been applied to various psychological definitions, theories or psychometric tests across a period of time which has contributed to the corrosion in meaning of the original term. Attempts by science to isolate and identify the qualities or attrib- utes of intelligence have altered if not entirely destroyed the meaning of the expression. A brief review of the history of the modern investigation into intelligence is thereby presented.

The Problematic Search for the Nature of Intelligence: Philosophical Reactions and Projections
FATAI ASODUN

2019

The question, "What is intelligence?" is deceptively simple. However, scholars have engaged in series of research in order to answer it. Till date there is no simple answer accepted by experts in the relevant disciplines. Attempt to identify a standard definition has been very challenging. This failure is connected with the fact that defining intelligence requires the application of problematic and abstract concepts. Consequently, some researchers decided to put forward theories as an attempt to capture the nature of intelligence. However, this option, as reflected in this paper, further deepens the problem it purports to resolve. The paper is an inquest into the intellectual travails of scholars who fruitlessly attempted to grasp the nature of intelligence. The paper avers that these travails are caused by scholar's reliance on ontological proof of intelligence which stipulates the possession of brain and mind as evidence of intelligence. The epistemological proof which relies on overt behaviour as index of interpreting intelligence is projected by the paper as a plausible means of overcoming the nebulous nature of the concept.

Principles and Development of Natural Intelligence
Bill Benzon

The phenomena of natural intelligence can be grouped into five classes, and a specific principle of information processing, implemented in neural tissue, produces each class of phenomena. (1) The modal principle subserves feeling and is implemented in the reticular formation. (2) The diagonalization principle subserves coherence and is the basic principle, implemented in neocortex. (3) Action is subserved by the decision principle, which involves interlinked positive and negative feedback loops, and resides in modally differentiated cortex. (4) The problem of finitization resolves into a figural principle, implemented in secondary cortical areas; figurality resolves the conflict between pro-positional and Gestalt accounts of mental representations. (5) Finally, the phenomena of analysis reflect the action of the indexing principle, which is implemented through the neural mechanisms of language. These principles have an intrinsic ordering (as given above) such that implementation of each principle presupposes the prior implementation of its predecessor. This ordering is preserved in phylogeny: (1) mode, vertebrates; (2) diagonalization, reptiles; (3) decision, mammals; (4) figural, primates; (5) indexing. Homo sapiens sapiens. The same ordering appears in human ontogeny and corresponds to Piaget's stages of intellectual development, and to stages of language acquisition.

This is a &dquo;quiet&dquo; book, containing nothing that is startling either in content or in presentation. However, it contains much that is attractive by way of content-organization, and would probably be quite suitable for most senior undergraduate and junior graduate courses, particularly for individuals whose skills are not quantitatively strong.

Intelligence and the rest of cognition
Frank Neil

Intelligence, 1982

Cognitive psychologists have become enamored with intelligence. Increasingly, the theories, findings, and methods of what is known as the information processing approach are being used in attempts to explain intelligence related phenomena. This article examines intelligence from a different perspective, which emphasizes domainspecific constraints on knowledge structures. It is argued that conceptions of what intelligence is and how it relates to the rest of cognition can vary considerably when viewed from the vantage points of these two perspectives. The constraints approach views intelligence as being closely related to a special subset of all of our cognitive abilities and as having unique distinguishing properties. It is also argued that the evaluation of any cognitive ability as being intelligent depends crucially on a prior specification of the formal constraints on the domain or domains of knowledge from which that ability originates.

On Intelligence
Saurabh Khanna

Since its first mention during medieval ages, 'Intelligence' has been a contentious construct. The earlier conceptions of 'intelligence' were linked to the domain of philosophy. These conceptions came to be strongly condemned by early modern philosophers like Locke and Hume, and they preferred the term 'understanding' in their philosophical writings (Nidditch, 1975). The debate endures even today, albeit the contending parties now have the proponents of the psychometric approach on one side, and those supporting cognitive-contextual approaches on the other. Given the debates surrounding intelligence, public opinions can differ regarding the same. My current analysis proceeds via interviews held with three participants regarding their views on intelligence.

The Genevan and Cattell-Horn conceptions of intelligence compared: Early implementation of numerical solution aids
Irvin Schonfeld

Developmental Psychology, 1986

The Genevan and Cattell-Horn theories of intelligence are compared. The theories are found to be similar in the following respects: Intelligence (operative intelligence and fluid ability) is conceptualized as adaptational in function; the products of everyday learning and crystallized skills reflect the impress of experience; one category of intelligence (operative intelligence, fluid ability) is conceptualized as prior or more fundamental than the other (learned products, crystallized skills). Important differences were also found: Whereas fluid ability is characterized as formless and fixed, operative intelligence is viewed as highly structured and evolving; a compensatory relation between noegenetic crystallized skills and fluid ability is hypothesized where such a relation is not conceived to exist between operative intelligence and learning. The relation of Piagetian operative level to the child's capacity to use crystallized solution procedures (aids) in making elementary numerical comparisons was investigated. Performance on quantitative comparison tasks reflecting the child's understanding of correspondence relations was highly related to operative level. It was also found that the child's capacity to implement solution aids in making quantitative comparisons was, to some extent, moderated by his or her level of operative development.

On the Working Deenition of Intelligence
PEI WANG

This paper is about the philosophical and methodological foundation of artiicial intelligence (AI). After discussing what is a good \working deenition", \intelligence" is deened as \the ability for an information processing system to adapt to its environment with insuucient k n o wledge and resources". Applying the deenition to a reasoning system, we get the major components of Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System (NARS), which i s a s y m bolic logic implemented in a computer system, and has many i n teresting properties that are closely related to intelligence. The deenition also clariies the diierence and relationship between AI and other disciplines, such as computer science. Finally, the deenition is compared with other popular deenitions of intelligence, and its advantages are argued.

Theories of Intelligence
Goddess Dr. Myrna-Elois Washington

Intelligence is a complex and controversial concept. Although controversies over its nature have abound since Plato’s fourth century B.C.E. conceptualization of the mind as a ‘separate entity’, those surrounding its assessment have persisted since Francis Galton’s efforts to establish a eugenics-based society in Great Britain by measuring individual differences in ability over 150 years ago (Goodwin, 2008; Plucker, 2007). While some researchers have suggested that intelligence is a single, general ability, others postulate that intelligence encompasses a range of aptitudes, skills, and talents (Cherry, 2011). This paper examines the origins of some of the major theories of intelligence and intelligence testing that have emerged during the past century and explains how intelligence is assessed in current times. In addition, it explores David Perkins’ current theory of intelligence and analyzes its strengths and weaknesses.

The Pragmatic Approach to Characterizing Intelligence
Safawi Abdul Rahman

2007

This paper discusses the capabilities of human intelligent behaviors, based on the definitions of intelligent, that would have been the basis for defining the characters of intelligent to be used in artificial intelligence. A large number of definitions of intelligence have been proposed by researchers as an effort to interpret the concept of intelligent, corresponding to their views and their respective fields. However, this paper deals only with the definitions of artificial intelligence researchers as to gain the focus and to allow an appropriate discussion. We gather 18 definitions and 2 discourses on intelligent behaviors particularly from scholars and philosophers in this area of study. We conduct a hermeneutic analysis with the aim of examining the behaviors or characters of intelligent and eventually identifying the common characters that reflect the concept of intelligent. The analysis indicates that there are 6 characters-planning, inventing, reasoning, learning, adapting and actingcommonly associated with intelligence. Further in this paper, we will show that these characters are the core characters or behaviors for intelligent and artificial intelligence. Our finding would also help in the development of a framework that could be considered of interoperable with pragmatic framework for machine intelligence.
