| D. | Structure of Intellect Model | IV. | Arthur Jensen |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
(A) Unit factor theory — this matches (II) Alfred Binet. Binet conceptualised intelligence as one similar set of abilities that can be used for solving any problem; his theory is called the uni or one factor theory of intelligence.
(B) Two-factor theory — this matches (III) Charles Spearman. In 1927 Spearman showed, by factor analysis, that intelligence consists of a general factor (g-factor) and some specific factors (s-factors).
(C) Hierarchical Model — this matches (IV) Arthur Jensen. Jensen proposed a hierarchical model with abilities at two levels: Level I, associative learning such as rote memory, and Level II, cognitive competence, which transforms the input.
(D) Structure of Intellect Model — this matches (I) J.P. Guilford. Guilford’s model classifies intellectual traits along three dimensions: operations, contents and products.
NCERT (2025-26): “Theories of Intelligence … We mentioned above that Alfred Binet was the first psychologist who tried to formalise the concept of intelligence in terms of mental operations. Prior to him, we find the notion of intelligence described in general ways in various philosophical treatises available in different cultural traditions. Binet’s theory of intelligence was rather simple as it arose from his interest in differentiating more intelligent from less intelligent individuals. He, therefore, conceptualised intelligence as consisting of one similar set of abilities which can be used for solving any or every problem in an individual’s environment. His theory of intelligence is called Uni or one factor theory of intelligence.…” “Theories of Intelligence … In 1927, Charles Spearman proposed a two-factor theory of intelligence employing a statistical method called factor analysis. He showed that intelligence consisted of a general factor (g-factor) and some specific factors (s-factors).…” “Theories of Intelligence … 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.…” “Theories of Intelligence … J.P. Guilford proposed the structure-of-intellect model which classifies intellectual traits among three dimensions: operations, contents, and products.…” |
