Intelligence: Concept & Theories
Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 1,999 times
In the context of the multidimensional and hierarchical theories of intelligence, which of the following statements is most appropriate and true regarding the scientific structure of the 'Hierarchical Theory of Intelligence' proposed by Philip Vernon—where the 'general factor (g)' is divided into verbal-educational (v:ed) and practical-mechanical (k:m) groups—along with the interrelationships of Cyril Burt's hierarchical model and its conceptual differences from Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Philip Vernon proposed the Hierarchical Theory of Intelligence, which acts as a bridge or synthesis between Charles Spearman's 'general factor (g)' and the 'group factors' proposed by L.L. Thurstone and other theorists.
At the apex of this model lies a general intelligence factor (g); directly below it are two major group factors: (1) Verbal-Educational (v:ed) and (2) Practical-Mechanical (k:m). Subsequently, these group factors divide into smaller sub-groups and ultimately into specific factors (s) at the lowest level.
Key Takeaways
- Apex: General Factor (g)
- Major Groups: v:ed and k:m
- Base: Specific factors (s)
Therefore, option (a) accurately describes this scientific structure.
