Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 2,781 times
Contrary to the 'Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence' or modern multi-factor approaches, in the context of the 'Multifactor Theory of Intelligence' propounded by psychologist Edward Thorndike, Thorndike mentioned four major dimensions or qualities of intelligence—Level, Area, Range, and Speed. Among these, which of the following best represents the precise psychological meaning of the 'Range' dimension?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Edward Thorndike's Multifactor Theory of Intelligence is extremely important in child psychology. Thorndike did not consider intelligence to be a single general factor, but rather a combination of many independent elements. He described four important dimensions of intelligence: 1. Level - the difficulty level of problems, 2. Area - the total number of activities or subjects, 3. Range or scope - the number or total quantity of various tasks that a person can perform at a certain difficulty level, and 4. Speed - the readiness and velocity to perform mental work. Therefore, option c presents the correct scientific description of the 'Range' dimension.
