MODERN APPROACHES TO INTELLIGENCE
MODERN APPROACHES TO INTELLIGENCE

Summary/Abstract: With the theory of multiple intelligences, Howard Gardner opposes intelligence uniqueness. Gardner posits that there are seven forms of intelligence: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and natural. The theory has application in education, and professional guidance, but there are no predictive data, empirical, to support or to test the theory as a whole. A second approach - triarchic theory of intelligence - proposed by Sternberg, professor of psychology at Yale, aims to specify the mental mechanisms behind intelligent behavior. Conclusion: discrepancies between scientific findings - modern theories and their transfer in the fields of application.
