Detailed explanation-1: -g and s. 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 intelligence, also known as g factor, refers to the existence of a broad mental capacity that influences performance on cognitive ability measures.
Detailed explanation-3: -The broad abilities recognized by the model are fluid intelligence (Gf), crystallized intelligence (Gc), general memory and learning (Gy), broad visual perception (Gv), broad auditory perception (Gu), broad retrieval ability (Gr), broad cognitive speediness (Gs), and processing speed (Gt).
Detailed explanation-4: -Spearman explained the positive manifold by a general ability factor (g) common to scores on all cognitive tasks. The terms IQ, general intelligence, general ability and g, are used interchangeably to refer to this common core.
