Detailed explanation-1: -Spearman’s two-factor theory proposes that intelligence has two components: general intelligence ("g") and specific ability ("s"). To explain the differences in performance on different tasks, Spearman hypothesized that the “s” component was specific to a certain aspect of intelligence.
Detailed explanation-2: -"General ability” known as ‘g’ factor and Specific ability known as ‘S’ factor. This theory states that every cognitive task involves a general factor ‘g’ which it shares with all other cognitive tasks and a specific factor ‘S’ which it shares with none.
Detailed explanation-3: -Spearman’s General Intelligence (g) General intelligence, also known as g factor, refers to a general mental ability that, according to Spearman, underlies multiple specific skills, including verbal, spatial, numerical and mechanical.
Detailed explanation-4: -The five factors being tested are knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing, working memory, and fluid reasoning.
Detailed explanation-5: -Summary. 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’. Key Points.
