2. Match List I with List II and select the correct answer by choosing from the codes given below: (DEC 2014)
| List I (Authors) | List II (Concepts) |
|---|---|
| A. Cattell | I. General and specific factors |
| B. Spearman | II. Fluid and crystallised intelligence |
| C. Gardner | III. Triarchic theory of intelligence |
| D. Sternberg | IV. Multiple Intelligence theory |
Codes:
(1) A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II
(2) A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
(3) A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

3. Ceci’s Bioecological theory proposes that there are rather than a single underlying Intelligence. (DEC 2014)
(1) multiple cognitive potentials, general
(2) metacomponents; perceptual
(3) performance components, heritable
(4) knowledge components, environmental
4. Sternberg’s Triarchic theory identifies types of components; are used to plan, control and monitor in problem solving. (DEC 2014)
(1) three, meta components
(2) four, performance
(3) problem solving, knowledge
(4) several, acquisition components
5. Read each of the following two statements, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and indicate your answer using the codes given below: (DEC 2014)
Assertion (A): Environments that influence educational and cultural opportunities enhance crystallised intelligence.
Reason (R): Crystallised intelligence is developed through stimulating fluid intelligence.
Codes:
(1) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
(2) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
(3) A is true, but R is false
(4) A is false, but R is true
6. Using Sternberg’s theory as the reference, match List I with List II and choose the correct code: (DEC 2014)
| List I (Components) | List II (Types) |
|---|---|
| A. Experiential | I. Analytic |
| B. Contextual | II. Creative |
| C. Componential | III. Practical |
| IV. Successful |
Codes:
(1) A-III, B-IV, C-II
(2) A-II, B-III, C-I
(3) A-II, B-IV, C-I
(4) A-II, B-I, C-III
