Under Charles Spearman's 'Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence', which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid regarding the true psychological implications of the concepts of 'General Factor' ('g' factor) and 'Specific Factor' ('s' factor) and their role in classroom learning and academic performance?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Charles Spearman (1904) propounded the 'Two-Factor Theory' of intelligence. According to him, two types of factors operate in every intellectual activity: (1) General Factor or 'g' factor, which is an innate, universal mental energy used in varying degrees in all mental tasks; and (2) Specific Factor or 's' factor, which is acquired and developed through environment, training, experience, and education. Therefore, option (A) presents the most scientific and authentic explanation of this theory.
