Primary mental abilities
Louis L. Thurstone (1887-1955) didn't approach intelligence as a single, general ability; his theory focused on seven different primary mental abilities:
- Associative memory: The capacity to memorize and recollect.
- Numerical ability: The capacity to solve arithmetic problems.
- Perceptual speed: The capacity to see differences and similarities among objects.
- Reasoning: The capacity to find rules.
- Spatial visualization: The capacity to visualize relationships.
- Verbal comprehension: The capacity to define and understand words
- Word fluency: The capacity to produce words rapidly.
