Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most basic tenet of Alfred Binet’s theory is that intelligence can be defined by the comparison of the performance of children at the same idea. The concept is that there are certain tasks that most six-year-olds can complete. Binet asserted that children who could not complete those tasks were below average.

Detailed explanation-2: -Introduced by Albert Binet and published as the Simon–Binet test in 1905 (Binet and Simon, 1905), the first tool for the assessment of intelligence was aimed to detect and support children with special needs. The items included in this test battery reflected age-appropriate intellectual ability.

Detailed explanation-3: -Binet studied a range of populations, including children, mental hospital patients, and professional artists. His research topics were also wide ranging, including studies of consciousness, sensation, creativity, language development, memory development, and mental fatigue.

Detailed explanation-4: -As a member of the French commission investigating educational concerns, his principal goal was to identify students who needed special help in coping with school curriculums [2]. For this reason, Binet developed the first modern intelligence test, the Binet-Simon Scale, in 1905.
