Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Performance intelligence is measured by tasks that require visual-spatial reasoning, perceptual organization, and motor coordination, such as solving puzzles, assembling objects, and completing pictures. Verbal intelligence, on the other hand, is measured by tasks that require language abilities, such as vocabulary, comprehension, and verbal reasoning. G-factor (general intelligence) is a theoretical construct that encompasses all cognitive abilities. Metacognitive refers to the ability to think about thinking, monitor and regulate cognitive processes, and reflect on one's own mental states. None of the tasks listed relate directly to metacognitive abilities.
