theory of multiple intelligences









































the theory of multiple intelligences differentiates human intelligence into specific 'modalities', rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. howard gardner proposed this model in his 1983 book "frames of mind: the theory of multiple intelligences". according to the theory, an intelligence 'modality' must fulfill eight criteria:









































bullet::::1. potential for brain isolation by brain damage









































bullet::::2. place in evolutionary history









































bullet::::3. presence of core operations









































bullet::::4. susceptibility to encoding (symbolic expression)









































bullet::::5. a distinct developmental progression









































bullet::::6. the existence of savants, prodigies and other exceptional people









































bullet::::7. support from experimental psychology

the same review presents evidence to demonstrate that cognitive neuroscience research does not support the theory of multiple intelligences:









































the theory of multiple intelligences is sometimes cited as an example of pseudoscience because it lacks empirical evidence or falsifiability, though gardner has argued otherwise.
