Explanation:

The psychometric approach focuses mainly on quantifiable aspects of intelligence and cognitive abilities. It is criticized for not adequately considering emotional, motivational, stress - related, intuitive, and creative factors in cognitive development. Selective optimization is a life - span development theory about adapting to aging. Modern psychology is a broad field that does consider many of these factors. Standardized tests are tools, not an approach to cognitive development in the same sense as the psychometric approach.
