Back to Constituents of Intelligence

Knowledge, both of self and of the outside world, is key to anything we do that could be considered intelligent. Reasoning is what we do with knowledge and learning is what happens when our knowledge changes, hopefully for the better.

Discussion of the capability in individuals

At the basic level, as children, we begin to understand society from observing our family dynamic, and their cultural norms and values. Observational learning as studied by, Albert Bandura [1] describes the process of social learning through observation and interaction. By observing our family interaction within our communities, and their civic involvement we can discover the dynamics of society. While in the education system we gather not only the knowledge, reasoning and learning needed to have a functioning, life but also gain perspective in institutional interactions with the greater community, such as service learning programs [2], sister-school programs [3], and foreign exchange programs [4]
