Detailed explanation-1: -Benefactor or single-factor theory of intelligence: It was given by French psychologist Alfred Binet. Alfred Binet is also known for developing the first intelligence test and concept of mental age. The theory emphasizes that we all have a general factor of intelligence to apply in all tasks.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -One factor/UNI factor theory: It reduces all abilities to a single capacity of general intelligence or ‘common sense’. This would imply that they are all perfectly correlated, and would make no allowance for the unevenness of people i.e. abilities along different lines.
