| List-I | List-II | ||
| (A) | Specifies the behaviors considered intelligent in a particular culture | (I) | Metacomponents |
| (B) | Specifies the cognitive processes that underline all intelligent behaviour | (II) | Contextual subtheory |
| (C) | Encode, combine and compare information | (III) | Componential subtheory |
| (D) | Control, monitor and evaluate cognitive processing | (IV) | Knowledge acquisition components |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
Sternberg’s triarchic theory has three subtheories (contextual, experiential and componential), and the componential part works through three kinds of components: metacomponents, performance components and knowledge acquisition components.
(A) Specifies the behaviors considered intelligent in a particular culture — this matches (II) Contextual subtheory. Contextual (practical) intelligence deals with the environment and culture a person lives in, so this subtheory says which behaviours count as intelligent in a given culture.
(B) Specifies the cognitive processes that underline all intelligent behaviour — this matches (III) Componential subtheory. Componential (analytical) intelligence is the analysis of information to solve problems, so this subtheory spells out the mental processes behind every intelligent act.
(C) Encode, combine and compare information — this matches (IV) Knowledge acquisition components. These are responsible for learning and acquiring the ways of doing things: taking in new information, putting it together and relating it to what is already known.
(D) Control, monitor and evaluate cognitive processing — this matches (I) Metacomponents. The meta or higher-order component involves planning what to do and how to do it, and so directs, watches over and judges the rest of one’s thinking.
NCERT (2025-26): “Triarchic Theory of Intelligence … According to this theory, there are three basic types of intelligence: Componential, Experiential, and Contextual. The elements of the triarchic theory of intelligence are shown in Figure 1.1.…” “…Componential Intelligence : Componential or analytical intelligence is the analysis of information to solve problems. Persons high on this ability think analytically and critically and succeed in schools. This intelligence has three components, each serving a different function. First is the knowledge acquisition component, which is responsible for learning and acquisition of the ways of doing things. The second is the meta or a higher order component, which involves planning concerning what to do and how to do. The third is the performance component, which involves actually doing things.”
