A psychology club in Pune studied the test scores of 200 students. Students who did well on one test usually did fairly well on the others, though Tanvi, a gifted singer, stood far above everyone in one special skill. Rohan memorised a list of historical dates and repeated them exactly, but could not use them to explain events. Sana took the same dates and worked out the causes behind the events. The club also found that scores on several separate abilities were largely unrelated to one another. Finally, the members drew a timeline of the main psychometric theories of intelligence.
The model that best describes Rohan's way of handling the dates has abilities operating at how many levels?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Two
Repeating memorised dates, where the output is much the same as the input, is associative learning (Level I) in Arthur Jensen's hierarchical model, whose abilities operate at two levels.
