Mental age
Mental age is a concept related to intelligence. It looks at how a specific child, at a specific age--usually today, now--performs intellectually, compared to average intellectual performance for that physical age, measured in years. The physical age of the child is compared to the intellectual performance of the child, based on performance in tests and live assessments by a psychologist. Scores achieved by the child in question are compared to scores in the middle of a bell curve for children of the same age 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glossary of Psychological Terms )〕
However mental age varies according to what kind of intelligence is measured. A child's intellectual age can be average for his physical age but the same child's emotional intelligence can be immature for his physical age. In this psychologists often remark girls are more emotionally mature than boys in the tween years. Also a six-year-old child intellectually gifted in Piaget terms, can remain a three-year-old child in terms of Emotional Intelligence.〔L.K. Silverman, 1997. "Asynchronous development" is now an accepted aspect of maturation. ''Peabody Journal of Education'', Vol. 72 Issue 3/4〕 Mental age was once considered a controversial concept.〔
