Sonja, a four-year-old girl, participated in a series of tests designed to measure her intelligence. Initially, the tests were quite simple, but they became more difficult as the tests progressed. Because Sonja was able to answer questions that an average seven-year-old can answer, she was given a mental age of seven. It is most likely these tests were inspired by the work of _______.a) Galtonb) Binetc) Aristotled) Tulving
b)
The tests described in the scenario resemble the work of Alfred Binet. Binet was a French psychologist who developed the first standard intelligence test in the early 1900s. His tests were designed to measure a child’s mental age, which would then be compared with their chronological age to determine their intelligence quotient (IQ). The tests were progressive in difficulty, just like in the scenario, and aimed to measure a child’s cognitive ability and potential. Therefore, the answer is (b) Binet.
