Regarding the theory of constructivism, which of the following statements was NOT part of that theory
a. Humans interpret their experiences according to conceptual categories that are already established in their minds.

c. Most people with a high IQ are also cognitively complex.
d. Unlike IQ, people can actively develop their levels and types of cognitive complexity

These are my notes from class below, however, it does not mention anything about IQ! Please help
Constructivism suggests that individuals interpret and act according to the conceptual meanings they have organized in their minds. Personal constructs are formed through experience and then are used later to interpret future experiences. Our personal constructs act as filters to perceiving the world and interactions around us. No two people have the same set of personal constructs.
The greater the number of personal constructs (distinctions) one possesses leads to greater cognitive differentiation, which in turn leads to an increased ability to see other's perspectives and leads to greater communication competence.
