Planning, Attention-arousal, and Simultaneous-successive (PASS) Model of Intelligence: This model has been developed by J.P. Das, Jack Naglieri, and Kirby (1994). According to this model, intellectual activity involves the interdependent functioning of three neurological systems, called the functional units of brain. These units are responsible for arousal/attention, coding or processing, and planning respectively.

  • (A) The teacher announces a class test- → This is an external stimulus that activates the cognitive system. It’s not part of the PASS model itself but initiates the need for cognitive processing.

  • (B) Focusing attention on reading, learning, and revising. → This represents the Attention–Arousal stage, where the student begins to concentrate and maintain focus on the task.

  • (D) Simultaneously and successively processing the information.→ This is the Processing stage, where the brain uses:

    • Simultaneous processing to understand concepts holistically (e.g., visualizing topics)

    • Successive processing to follow sequences (e.g., steps in math or grammar rules)

  • (C) Planning a time schedule, group studies, etc. → This corresponds to the Planning stage, where the student organizes actions, sets goals, and strategizes.

  • (E) If the planning is not effective, it is modified. → This is also part of Planning, specifically self-monitoring and regulation, where the student evaluates and adjusts their approach.
