Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thurstone's theory of intelligence suggests that abilities in one area (like verbal comprehension, which reading and understanding difficult texts would fall under) do not necessarily predict abilities in unrelated areas (like numerical problem-solving, visual learning, or spatial abilities). Therefore, if Janine has a high comprehension of difficult texts, Thurstone would predict that she speaks well, as both involve verbal abilities.
