Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 2,630 times
When conducting a comparative and philosophical analysis of Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences and Charles Spearman's Two-Factor Theory, if a learner demonstrates extraordinary proficiency in musical composition, a deep capacity to understand their inner feelings, and high competence in accurately reading other people's emotions in a social environment; which of the following statements is scientifically most authoritative and true regarding the fundamental differences and interrelations of these two theories?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
Howard Gardner, in his 1983 Theory of Multiple Intelligences, posited that intelligence is not a single, unitary entity, but rather a group of autonomous and distinct intellectual capacities. In contrast, Charles Spearman emphasized a general factor ('g' factor) and specific factors ('s' factors) in his Two-Factor Theory.
Key Concepts
- Gardner's Theory: Proposes multiple independent modalities of intelligence (e.g., musical, intrapersonal, interpersonal).
- Spearman's Theory: Emphasizes a unitary general intelligence factor underlying cognitive tasks.
Therefore, option B accurately contrasts the decentralized, independent modules of Gardner's view with the unitary 'g' factor of Spearman's approach.
