Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Marta Kohl de. Inteligência e vida cotidiana: competências cognitivas de adultos de baixa renda. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 1983, n.44, pp.45-54. ISSN 0100-1574.

The article is based on a study about adults living in a squatter settlement in São Paulo, with the objective of obtaining descriptive data on problem solving and reasoning processes in everyday life situations and on the relationships of these processes to performance on intelligence tests and in the formal school situation. The data obtained showed the interplay between two complementary aspects of performance on cognitive tasks: the different average performance of different social groups and the individual differences found within otherwise homogeneous social groups.

Keywords : Capacidade cognitiva; Adultos; Testes de inteligência; MOBRAL; Escala de avaliação.
