The information processing approach to intelligence deals with the 'how component of intelligence while the psychometric approach deals with the 'what component of intelligence. Identify one psychometric and one information processing approach to intelligence-

Hierarchical Model and PASS Model

The correct answer is Option (2) → Hierarchical Model and PASS Model

• Psychometric approach focuses on the structure and measurement of intelligence — essentially the “what” of intelligence (what abilities make up intelligence). Hierarchical Model (e.g., Arthur Jensen's  model of intelligence consisting of abilities operating at two levels, called Level I and Level II) is a psychometric approach .

• Information processing approach is concerned with the “how” of intelligence — i.e., how people think, solve problems, and process information. PASS Model (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive processing by Das and Naglieri) is a classic example of an information processing approach.
