1. The Cattell- Horn- Carroll model of intelligence is the best known compromise between the singular intelligence theory and the multiple intelligences theory.

In the CHC model the general intelligence factor is made up of many different cognitive abilities. The piece that was taken from the Cattell&Horn model was the idea that there are two main types of intelligence:

because of consequences that were similar and happened in the past instead of saying man behaves because of consequences following his behavior currently. In other words a man relies on past experiences to behave subconsciously almost. He calls this the Law of Effect or operant conditioning. He believes that a scientific analysis of behavior assumes that a person’s behavior is controlled by his genetic and environmental histories rather than a person himself as an initiating‚ creative agent.
