According to Charles Spearman's Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence, which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid regarding the real psychological implications of the 'g-factor' (general factor) and 's-factor' (specific factor), the enhancement of students' intellectual abilities in classroom instruction, academic performance, and the scientific management of cognitive differences?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Charles Spearman's (1904) Two-Factor Theory, human intellectual ability is composed of two factors:
- 'g-factor' (General Factor): It is an innate and universal mental energy required in all types of mental tasks and is relatively stable across individuals.
- 's-factor' (Specific Factor): It is related to specific domains or activities (such as music, mathematics, painting) and can be developed through learning and training.
In classroom instruction, teachers must understand that the underlying 'g-factor' determines general academic capability, while 's-factor' shapes specific aptitudes and interests.
