Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
(A) Associative learning and Cognitive competence — this matches (III) Hierarchical Model of Intelligence. Arthur Jensen’s model has abilities at two levels: Level I, associative learning (output much like the input, as in rote learning) and Level II, cognitive competence (higher-order skills that transform the input).
(B) One similar set of abilities — this matches (IV) Uni Factor Theory. Binet conceptualised intelligence as one similar set of abilities usable for solving any problem, so his theory is called the Uni or one factor theory.
(C) g-factor and s-factors — this matches (I) Two Factor Theory. Charles Spearman showed by factor analysis that intelligence consists of a general factor (g), common to all performances, and specific factors (s).
(D) Content, Operations and Product — this matches (II) Structure-of-Intellect Model. J.P. Guilford classified intellectual traits along three dimensions: operations, contents and products.
NCERT (2025-26): “Theories of Intelligence … 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.…” “…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). The g-factor includes mental operations which are primary and common to all performances. In addition to the g-factor, he said that there are also many specific abilities. These are contained in what he called the s-factor.…” “…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. J.P. Guilford proposed the structureof-intellect model which classifies intellectual traits among three dimensions: operations, contents, and products.…” |
