Detailed explanation-1: -Lewis Terman was an influential psychologist who is known for his version of the Stanford-Binet intelligence test and for his longitudinal study of giftedness.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.
