Options:

(B), (C), (D), (A)

(C), (D), (A), (B)

(A), (B), (C), (D)

(D), (C), (A), (B)

Correct Answer:

(C), (D), (A), (B)

Explanation:

The correct answer is (C), (D), (A), (B).

Here is the correct order of the work in the field of intelligence:

  1. (C) Attempt to measure intelligence by Binet and Simon: In 1905, Alfred Binet and Théodore Simon developed the first intelligence test, the Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale. This test was designed to measure children's intellectual abilities and to identify those who were struggling in school.

  2. (D) Concept of IQ proposed by William Stern: In 1912, William Stern proposed the concept of intelligence quotient (IQ). IQ is a score that is derived from a person's performance on an intelligence test. It is calculated by dividing their mental age by their chronological age and multiplying by 100.

  3. (A) Two factor theory by Spearman: In 1927, Charles Spearman proposed the two-factor theory of intelligence. This theory states that there is a general factor of intelligence, known as g, that underlies all cognitive abilities. Spearman also proposed that there are specific factors of intelligence, known as s factors, that are responsible for individual differences in specific cognitive abilities.

  4. (B) PASS model by Das, Naglieri and Kirby: In 1994, Jerome Das, Jack Naglieri, and James Kirby proposed the PASS model of cognitive abilities. This model identifies seven cognitive processes: planning, attention, simultaneous processing, successive processing, working memory, learning, and problem-solving.
