INTELLIGENCE AND ITS THEORIES

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A procedure in the General Intelligence Theory through which the correlation of related variables are evaluated to find an underlying factor that explains this correlation
A
Factor Analysis
B
Data Analysis
C
Intelligence Analysis
D
Element Analysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In 1904, Charles Spearman had developed a statistical procedure called factor analysis. In factor analysis, related variables are tested for correlation to each other, then the correlation of the related items are evaluated to find clusters or groups of the variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Theory of General Intelligence proposes that there is only one intelligence, measured by a single ‘g factor’ that underlies performance in all cognitive domains. Performance in different cognitive tasks are interrelated, all hinging on the single ‘g factor’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Factor analysis is a multivariate technique designed to analyze correlations among many observed variables and to explore latent factors. Factor analysis was developed by the British psychologist Charles Spearman in the early 20th century as a technique for analyzing intelligence structures.

Detailed explanation-4: -Correlation is a measure of the association between two variables. That is, it indicates if the value of one variable changes reliably in response to changes in the value of the other variable. The correlation coefficient can range from-1.0 to +1.0.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eigenvalues:/Characteristic roots: The eigenvalue for a given factor measures the variance in all the variables which is accounted for by that factor.
