Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences

The theory of multiple intelligences is a theory of intelligence that differentiates it into specific (primarily sensory) modalities, rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability.

This model was proposed by Howard Gardner in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Gardner articulated eight criteria for a behavior to be considered an intelligence. These were that the intelligences showed: potential for brain isolation by brain damage, place in evolutionary history, presence of core operations, susceptibility to encoding (symbolic expression), a distinct developmental progression, the existence of savants, prodigies and other exceptional people, and support from experimental psychology and psychometric findings.

Gardner chose eight abilities that he held to meet these criteria:

• Musical-rhythmic

• visual-spatial

• verbal-linguistic

• logical-mathematical

• bodily-kinesthetic

• interpersonal

• intrapersonal

• naturalistic

He later suggested that existential and moral intelligence may also be worthy of inclusion.

According to Gardner, an intelligence is "a biopsychological potential to process information that can be activated in a cultural setting to solve

problems or create products that are of value in a culture." Steps
