✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
Charles Spearman proposed the 'Two-Factor Theory' of intelligence in 1904. According to this theory, every intellectual activity involves two types of factors:
- General Factor (g-factor): It is an innate, universal mental energy that is utilized in varying amounts across all types of mental tasks.
- Specific Factor (s-factor): It is related to specific skills and can be developed through learning, training, and practice.
In classroom instruction, teachers design their teaching frameworks keeping students' g-factor (general intellectual capacity) in mind while enhancing the s-factor (such as music, mathematics, art, etc.) through specialized training.
