Sternberg’s triarchic theory of intelligence (first introduced in 1977) includes three facets of intelligence. The ability to break problems down into component parts describes which of those three facets?
  1. Componential
  2. Experiential
  3. Contextual
  4. Practical
Explanation
Answer: A - The componential subtheory, also known as the analytical facet, involves metacomponents (these are higher-order processes that organize cognitive processes), performance components (these execute strategies developed by metacomponents), and knowledge acquisition components (these are used in the processes of gaining and storing knowledge). Analytical intelligence is much like psychometric intelligence-academic problem solving.
