Compare and contrast the views on intelligence of Spearman and Cattell to those of Gardner and Sternberg
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
For Spearman, intelligence is made up of one general intelligence ability (e.g. g, general intelligence), while for Cattell this general intelligence was represented by two factors (e.g. fluid intelligence, crystallized intelligence). Thus, both Spearman and Cattell see intelligence as being a very broad-based ability. In contrast, Gardner believes that humans have multiple types of intelligence, of which he currently identifies nine different types. Sternberg likewise advances a multiple-intelligence theory, maintaining there were three distinct types of intelligence.
