Detailed Explanation
Correct Answer Explanation
Charles Spearman proposed in his Two-Factor Theory that intelligence consists of a general factor (g-factor) and several specific factors (s-factors), where 'g' is fundamental to all mental activities. In contrast, Howard Gardner rejected the notion of intelligence as a unitary construct in his Theory of Multiple Intelligences, arguing instead that intelligences are relatively independent of one another (such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, etc.).
- Spearman's Approach: Psychometric, focusing on a hierarchical, general cognitive ability.
- Gardner's Approach: Neuropsychological and contextual, emphasizing distinct modalities of intelligence.
