Read the case below and answer the questions that follow:The evidence for hereditary influences on intelligence comes mainly from studies on twins and adopted children. The intelligence of identical twins reared together correlates almost 0.90. Twins separated early in childhood also show considerable similarity in their intellectual, personality and behavioural characteristics. The intelligence of identical twins reared in different environments correlated 0.72, those of fraternal twins reared together correlated almost 0.60, and those of brothers and sisters reared together correlated about 0.50, while siblings reared apart correlated about 0.25. Another line of evidence comes from the studies of adopted children, which shows that children’s intelligence is more similar to their biological rather than adoptive parents. With respect to the role of the environment, studies have reported that as children grow in age, their intelligence level tends to move closer to that of their adoptive parents. Children from disadvantaged homes adopted into families with higher socioeconomic status exhibit a large increase in their intelligence scores. There is evidence that environmental deprivation lowers intelligence while rich nutrition, good family background, and quality schooling increases intelligence. There is a general consensus among psychologists that intelligence is a product of complex interaction of heredity (nature) and environment (nurture). Heredity can best be viewed as something that sets a range within which an individual’s development is actually shaped by the support and opportunities of the environment.Choose the correct option:Q. Children’s intelligence is more closely related to their _____________ parents.- a)biological

Arun Yadav answered |
Biological parents are the natural parents of a child. The father and mother whose DNA a child carries are usually called the child's biological parents. Legal parents have a family relationship to the child by law, but do not need to be related by blood, for example in the case of an adopted child.

IQ test scores represent phenotypic measures of intelligence. Phenotypic refers to the expression of our genes in behavioural traits that we can measure. Genotypic refers to the DNA we inherited from our parents. Environmental, modular and general are not standard terms used to refer to the genetics of IQ.

Akshita Saha answered |
Arthur Jensen proposed a hierarchical model of intelligence consisting of abilities operating at two levels: Level I and Level II.
Level I:
- Level I abilities are considered to be the lower-order processes that involve basic cognitive functions such as memory, perception, and retrieval of information.
- Jensen suggested that Level I abilities are primarily influenced by genetic factors.
Level II:
- Level II abilities are higher-order cognitive processes that involve reasoning, problem-solving, and abstract thinking.
- According to Jensen, Level II abilities are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.
Implications of Jensen's model:
- Jensen's model implies that intelligence is not a unitary construct but rather consists of multiple abilities operating at different levels.
- This model suggests that some individuals may excel in Level I abilities while others may excel in Level II abilities.
- The model also raises questions about the heritability of intelligence and the role of genetics in determining cognitive abilities.
In conclusion, Arthur Jensen's hierarchical model of intelligence provides a framework for understanding the complexity of cognitive processes and the interplay between genetic and environmental factors in shaping individual differences in intelligence.

(b) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Assertion (A): Intelligence can be influenced more by situational factors than by individual personality traits.
Assertion (A): Intelligence can be influenced more by situational factors than by individual personality traits.
- Intelligence is shaped by both innate factors (such as genetics and personality) and external factors (such as environment, education, and social conditions).
- While situational factors (e.g., access to resources, exposure to learning opportunities) can significantly impact intelligence, it is not universally accepted that they have a greater influence than personality traits.
- However, the statement is plausibly true in many cases.
Reason (R): The situationist perspective emphasizes that behavior varies significantly across different contexts, leading to similar responses from individuals with distinct personality traits.
- The situationist perspective in psychology suggests that behavior is largely shaped by external circumstances rather than stable personality traits.
- While this perspective is valid, it primarily addresses behavior rather than intelligence.
Since both statements are true but Reason does not directly explain the Assertion, option (b) is the best choice.
Assertion (A): Individuals with high emotional intelligence are better equipped to navigate social complexities than those with low emotional intelligence. Reason (R): Emotional intelligence encompasses the ability to understand and manage both one's own emotions and the emotions of others, which is essential for effective communication and relationship management.- a)If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

Arun Yadav answered |
Spearman’s finding of a general feature that underlies performance in many areas was so radical that it became the hallmark of his work. Spearman likened g to mental energy – a limited resource available to all intellectual tasks. So the idea was that individuals differ in general intelligence because they have different amounts of this mental energy.

The name of this theory of Robert Sternberg is the Triarchic Theory.
According to Sternberg (1985a), the triarchic theory seeks to understand human intelligence in terms of three subtheories: a contextual subtheory that related intelligence to the external world of the individual; a componential subtheory that related intelligence to the internal world of the individual; and an experiential subtheory that applies to both the internal and external environments.

Together, the notions of normal distribution and correlation allow us to consider how our abilities vary in relation to each other and in relation to the abilities of others in the population, and hence how well we can use scores on one variable to predict scores on another.

Binet and his associate Théodore Simon used a range of tasks in their first intelligence tests. These included around 30 items of increasing difficulty, from simple items that even intellectually disabled children were able to complete. More complex tasks included pointing to body parts and defining words such as ‘house’ or ‘wheel’, and tasks that were harder still, such as repeating back strings of digits and constructing sentences involving several specified words.Interestingly, vocabulary and digit recall tasks are still used in our most advanced intelligence tests today.

Curiosity Classes answered |
The main advantage of using psychological tests for assessment is their objective and standardized measurement. Psychological tests are designed to measure specific psychological attributes using standardized procedures and scoring criteria, which helps ensure consistency and reliability across different administrations and assessors. This objective approach minimizes subjective interpretations and enhances the validity and reliability of the assessment results.

Pj Commerce Academy answered |
Componential intelligence, also known as analytical intelligence, is the ability to analyze information and solve problems effectively. It involves breaking down complex problems into smaller components, understanding the relationships between these components, and applying logical reasoning to arrive at solutions. Componential intelligence comprises three components: knowledge acquisition, meta or higher-order planning, and performance. Individuals high in componential intelligence excel in academic settings and in tasks that require critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

In 1985, Robert Sternberg proposed a three category theory of intelligence, integrating components that were lacking in Gardner’s theory. This theory is based on the definition of intelligence as the ability to achieve success based on your personal standards and your sociocultural context.
According to the triarchic theory, intelligence has three aspects: analytical, creative, and practical aspects (Sternberg, 1985).
Analytical intelligence, also referred to as componential intelligence, refers to intelligence that is applied to analyze or evaluate problems and arrive at solutions.
Creative intelligence: The ability to go beyond what is given to create novel and interesting ideas. This type of intelligence involves imagination, innovation and problem-solving.
Practical intelligence: The ability that individuals use to solve problems faced in daily life and it is when a person finds the best fit between themselves and the demands of the environment.

Understanding Level II Operating Ability
Level II operating ability, as proposed by Arthur Jensen in his hierarchical model of intelligence, is characterized as cognitive competence. This level is a step above basic associative learning and serves as a foundation for more complex cognitive processes.
Key Aspects of Level II Operating Ability:
- Definition: Cognitive competence involves the ability to understand, analyze, and apply knowledge effectively. It reflects an individual's capacity to solve problems and make decisions based on reasoning and critical thinking.
- Contrast with Other Options:
- *Associative Learning:* This is more about forming connections between stimuli and responses, not necessarily involving higher-level cognitive processes.
- *Rote Learning:* This approach focuses on memorization without understanding, which does not align with the analytical nature of cognitive competence.
- Importance in Intelligence:
- Cognitive competence is crucial for academic success and practical applications in everyday life. It enables individuals to engage in complex reasoning, thereby enhancing problem-solving abilities.
Conclusion:
In summary, option 'B' (Cognitive Competence) accurately describes Level II operating ability in Jensen's hierarchical model of intelligence. This concept emphasizes the importance of analytical skills and higher-order thinking, which are essential for navigating both academic challenges and real-world situations effectively.

The Triarchic Theory of intelligence, proposed by Robert Sternberg, views intelligence as "the ability to adapt, to shape and select environment to accomplish one’s goals and those of one’s society and culture." This theory emphasizes the dynamic nature of intelligence and its role in facilitating adaptation to changing environments. According to Sternberg, intelligence involves three basic types: componential (analytical), experiential (creative), and contextual (practical). These components work together to enable individuals to effectively navigate and succeed in various contexts.

Understanding the Statements
The two statements differentiate between aptitude and interest, which are often confused but represent distinct concepts.
Statement I Explained
- Definition of Aptitude: Aptitude is an individual's inherent potential or ability to excel in a specific area, such as mathematics, music, or sports.
- Definition of Interest: Interest, on the other hand, reflects a person's preferences or desires to engage in particular activities, regardless of their natural ability to perform them.
- Key Distinction: This statement correctly identifies that aptitude and interest are not the same; one is about potential, while the other is about preference.
Statement II Explained
- Misconception: This statement claims that interest and aptitude are interchangeable, which is incorrect.
- Lack of Clarity: Treating these terms as synonyms undermines the unique role each plays in personal and professional development.
- Conclusion: Interest can exist without aptitude and vice versa. For example, someone may have a strong interest in painting but lack the aptitude for it.
Final Assessment
- Truthfulness of Statements:
- Statement I is true as it accurately distinguishes between aptitude and interest.
- Statement II is false since it incorrectly equates the two concepts.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'C': Statement I is true, but Statement II is false.

Read the case below and answer the questions that follow:The evidence for hereditary influences on intelligence comes mainly from studies on twins and adopted children. The intelligence of identical twins reared together correlates almost 0.90. Twins separated early in childhood also show considerable similarity in their intellectual, personality and behavioural characteristics. The intelligence of identical twins reared in different environments correlated 0.72, those of fraternal twins reared together correlated almost 0.60, and those of brothers and sisters reared together correlated about 0.50, while siblings reared apart correlated about 0.25. Another line of evidence comes from the studies of adopted children, which shows that children’s intelligence is more similar to their biological rather than adoptive parents. With respect to the role of the environment, studies have reported that as children grow in age, their intelligence level tends to move closer to that of their adoptive parents. Children from disadvantaged homes adopted into families with higher socioeconomic status exhibit a large increase in their intelligence scores. There is evidence that environmental deprivation lowers intelligence while rich nutrition, good family background, and quality schooling increases intelligence. There is a general consensus among psychologists that intelligence is a product of complex interaction of heredity (nature) and environment (nurture).

- Statement i is incorrect because psychological tests are designed to be objective and standardized, minimizing subjectivity.
- Statement ii is correct as interviews are indeed one-on-one conversations aimed at gathering detailed information from clients.
- Statement iii is partially correct; however, case studies primarily involve gathering detailed data through interviews, observation, and questionnaires rather than solely relying on systematic observation over time.
- Statement iv is correct as self-reports are based on individuals' perceptions, which can be influenced by biases and may not reflect objective reality.
Thus, the correct answer is Option A: ii and iv.

Learning Educators answered |
The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, proposed by Howard Gardner, suggests that intelligence is not a single entity but rather exists in distinct types that are independent of each other. According to Gardner, each type of intelligence operates separately from the others, and individuals may possess varying degrees of each type. The theory identifies eight types of intelligence: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. This theory emphasizes the diversity of human cognitive abilities and the importance of recognizing and nurturing multiple forms of intelligence.

The text discusses how cultural bias in intelligence testing can lead to inaccuracies, particularly for individuals from different cultural backgrounds, because these tests may favor specific cultural groups. This reduces the validity of the test results for those who are not part of the favored group.

Pj Commerce Academy answered |
The Triarchic Theory of intelligence, proposed by Robert Sternberg, emphasizes the role of adaptability and practical problem-solving in intelligence. According to Sternberg, intelligence involves three basic types: componential (analytical), experiential (creative), and contextual (practical). Contextual intelligence, in particular, focuses on the ability to adapt to and shape one's environment to achieve goals effectively. This theory highlights the dynamic nature of intelligence and its relevance to real-world situations.

The information-processing approach to intelligence focuses on analyzing the cognitive functions underlying intelligent behavior. Unlike the psychometric approach, which emphasizes the measurement and structure of intelligence, the information-processing approach seeks to understand how intelligent individuals process information, reason, and solve problems. This approach examines the mental processes involved in tasks such as problem-solving, decision-making, and memory retrieval, aiming to uncover the mechanisms that contribute to intelligent behavior.

EduRev Humanities answered |
The Two-Factor Theory of intelligence was proposed by Charles Spearman, who suggested that intelligence comprises a general factor (g-factor) and specific factors (s-factors). The g-factor represents a common underlying ability that influences performance across various cognitive tasks, while the s-factors represent specific abilities that are more task-specific. Spearman's theory emphasizes the importance of both general intelligence and specific abilities in understanding human intelligence.
