intelligence but moderate or low in interpersonal intelligence or vice versa (Davis, Christodoulou, Seider & Gardner, 2012, p.3). According to this, the purpose of this essay is to identify and to describe the eight intelligences proposed by Howard Gardner and explain the significance to enhance them in children. The multiple intelligences (MI) theory was developed in 1983 by Howard Gardner, who is a Harvard University psychologist and professor of education and cognition. He provided in this hypothesis

the following paper I will attempt to explain a few of the theories that Howard Gardner and other researchers’ have concluded, I will begin first by describing the meaning of Multiple Intelligence, which are theories that tell how the brain works, it states that human beings are born with a single intelligence that cannot be changed, and is measurable, by a psychologist (Kowalski, R., & Westen, D. (2011). Howard Earl Gardner (born July 11, 1943 in Scranton, Pennsylvania) is an American developmental

A man named Howard Gardner proposed his theory of multiple intelligences in 1983 with his book Frames of Mind. Gardner thought of intelligence as the ability to solve problems. He believed that intelligence could be broken down into eight different types, and that even though we use all of these intelligences we tend to be stronger at some than others. In the development of his theory, he first wanted to set up a criterion to help him determine what would be worthy of being called intelligence

spatial, bodily kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal and naturalist (Gardner 1983). In Gardner’s opinion; seven kinds of intelligence would allow seven ways to teach, rather than one and powerful constraints that exist in the mind can be mobilized to introduce a particular concept (or whole system of thinking) in a way that children are most likely to learn it and least likely to distort it (Gardner 1983). Gardner was one of the first to teach us that we should not judge and develop people

The Principles of Operant Conditioning and Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences Operant conditioning involves operant behavior-responses that an organism makes to produce an effect on the environment. The concept of operant conditioning was introduced in 1938 by B.F. Skinner. The principles of operant conditioning can be used to modify an existing behavior, either an undesirable behavior that you would like to eliminate or a desirable behavior that you would like to strengthen

intelligence testing simply cannot deliver a truthful illustration of an individual’s intelligence level, rather the testing only measure two forms intelligence that are linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences according to Howard Gardner (Smith, 2008). Yet, Howard Gardner believes that human being contain other intelligence other than linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences. The human being intelligence is made up of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, musical

If we see a person who is able to process tasks that are involving the use of the brain, then we tend to consider that person intelligent. However if asked many people can not define “intelligence”. Sternberg and Detterman in 1986 asked a large number of theorists what intelligence means. They were not able to find two persons to give them the same definition, though all the theorists asked stated that intelligence is the ability of an individual to learn and remember things. Therefore the individual

Emotional Intelligence Abstract Intelligence has been studied for a very long time and the more research is conducted newer concepts of intelligence continue to evolve and show that it is more than just being smart. Howard Gardner in 1983 came up with the concept of multiple intelligences and today personal career success requires not only academic intelligence but also a higher level of emotional intelligence.

styles in order to be productive in any learning or work environment. In 1983, Dr. Howard Gardner, a professor of neuroscience and psychologist at Harvard University developed the theory of Multiple Intelligences. Individuals have various make-ups, and according to Dr. Gardner each is a unique combination. Dr. Howard Gardner’s theory suggests that there are nine different intelligences. For Gardner, intelligence is: • the ability to create an effective product or offer a service that
