Intelligence: Concept & Theories
Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 4,557 times
With reference to the 'structural and hierarchical theories of intelligence', which of the following statements is most appropriate and true regarding the 'Hierarchical Model of Intelligence' proposed by Philip Vernon, including the neuropsychological nature of the 'general factor (g)' and specific groups like 'verbal-educational' and 'practical-mechanical' factors, Cyril Burt's hierarchical approach, and their implications for modern primary inclusive classroom teaching, standardized assessment, and the scientific classification of multi-dimensional abilities in students?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Concept Explanation
Philip Vernon proposed the Hierarchical Model of Intelligence, which harmonized Spearman's general factor ('g') with the group factors proposed by Thurstone and others.
- Top of Hierarchy: The highest general factor ('g') sits at the apex.
- Major Group Factors: Below 'g' are major group factors such as Verbal-Educational (v:ed) and Practical-Mechanical (k:m).
- Specific Factors: Further sub-divisions lead to smaller specific factors at the base.
Pedagogical Implication: In modern inclusive classrooms, this model helps educators understand the multi-dimensional structure of students' intellectual abilities, identify their strengths, and plan differentiated instruction accordingly.
