Who proposed the hierarchical model of intelligence?

Arthur Jensen

The correct answer is Option (2) → Arthur Jensen

Arthur Jensen proposed a hierarchical model of intelligence consisting of abilities operating at two levels, called Level I and Level II. Level I is the associative learning in which output is more or less similar to the input (e.g., rote learning and memory). Level II, called cognitive competence, involves higher-order skills as they transform the input to produce an effective output.
