Logical intelligence also includes sensitivity to logical patterns, relationships, statements and similar abstractions. It extends to categorising, classifying, inferring, generalizing, testing of hypothesis and calculating. As a result, learners who are highly developed towards logic and mathematics enjoy reasoning, like organizing, classifying, interpreting information, enjoy working with numbers and they like scientific problem solving. Educators must give these learners experiments to do and present them with situation in which they have to discover patterns.…
In 1983 Dr. Howard Gardner, a Harvard Psychologist, developed the theory of multiple intelligences. His theory expanded the limits of the traditional I.Q. tests, so as to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. The theory includes 9 different intelligences; verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, bodily kinesthetic, musical-rhythmic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, and existential.…
It’s easy to see that people think and learn differently, but Howard Gardner of Harvard University has gone deeper and farther with that idea than any have before. According to his Multiple Intelligences Theory, there are nine different intelligences. These intelligences describe how people think and learn, and everyone is a unique blend of all nine learning styles. You may lean towards one or two, but you still use all of them, often at the same time. These intelligences are Verbal-Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical, Musical, Visual-Spatial, Existential, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Naturalistic, Interpersonal and Intrapersonal. People who are strong in different intelligences learn best different ways, and Gardner has said that he thinks schools only…
Intelligence, term usually referring to a general mental capability to reason, solve problems, think abstractly, learn and understand new material, and profit from past experience. Intelligence can be measured by many different kinds of tasks. Likewise, this ability is expressed in many aspects of a person’s life. Intelligence draws on a variety of mental processes, including memory, learning, perception, decision-making, thinking, and reasoning.…
The first assessment, Multiple Pathways to Learning, helps an individual determine the value of each one of eight different types of intelligences (2007). Of the eight different types of intelligences, the author scored highest on logical-mathematical and verbal-linguistic. The logical-mathematical individual will operate very directly in a logically, organized manner. The individual will collaborate well with assignments that require analytical skills and scientific reasoning (2007). The best way to communicate with this individual is through direct contact with a logically presented plan. The verbal-linguistic intelligence is great for written assignments. The individual with this intelligence will excel with explaining an assignment and understanding word meaning and syntax (2007). This individual will do best with assignments that require creative writing and persuasive arguments. The best way to communicate with this individual effectively is to speak with him or her directly. Allow this individual to share their thoughts regarding a subject, he or she will explain it very well. Another type of intelligence and one the author scored lowest is the naturalistic intelligence. The individual with a naturalistic intelligence has a deep understanding and connection with…
Learning varies on each and everyone. Individuals can perceive and process information in different kinds of ways, which implies that the degree to which individuals learn has as much as to do with whether the learning experience is geared to their style of learning. Some of the individuals learn and develop easily in the early stage, while others are not.…
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence, is an intelligence that hits real close with me. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence, is the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically. This intelligence, is used most with scientific and mathematical thinking. Mathematics, is a field I hate with a passion, but being in the retail field I use it a lot. I have to be able to give customers the cost of items with the discount amount off the top of my head. I need to be able to process these prices quickly and correctly to get sales. I also, have to close the store at the end of the night and make sure the cash drawers all equal one hundred dollars, before there put into the safe. A pattern, is formed to be able to process these drawers promptly and to correctly close the drawers out with a hundred dollars in them. Four, ten dollar bills, seven, five dollar bills, twenty-one, one dollar bills, thirteen quarters, eleven nickels and dimes, and ten pennies. This pattern, is a prime example of how this intelligence is use closely by me everyday. In a world where money is everything, I would say this intelligence hits home to everybody.…
In 1983 a professor of education at Harvard University, Dr. Howard Gardner, developed the theory of multiple intelligences. This theory states that there are eight different ways in which a person is intelligent. These different forms of intelligence are as follows: linguistic, or word smart; logical-mathematic, or reasoning/numbers smart; spatial, or picture smart; bodily-kinesthetic, or body smart; musical, or music smart; intrapersonal, or self-smart; and naturalist, or nature smart (“Multiple Intelligences” para. 1-2). It is not difficult to pinpoint which of these intelligences standardized testing primarily measures. For students who are not linguistically or mathematically gifted, the tests do not accurately show the students’…
The theory of multiple intelligences was proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983 as a model of intelligence that differentiates intelligence into various specific (primarily sensory) modalities[disambiguation needed], rather than seeing it as dominated by a single general ability.…
In 1983, Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor, changed the way people perceive intelligence and learning with his theory of Multiple Intelligences. Intelligence is an ability to solve problems or fashion products that are useful in a particular cultural setting or community. Gardner believed that there are at least eight intelligences possessed by all people, and that every person has developed some intelligence more fully than others. According to this theory, when you find a task or subject easy, you are probably using a more fully developed intelligence. Using a less developed intelligence is considered when you have trouble. “The theory distinguishes eight kinds of intelligence: musical, bodily/kinesthetic, spatial, linguistic or verbal, logical/mathematical, naturalist, intrapersonal, and interpersonal. Gardner argues that intelligences can be isolated based on a number of criteria, including their neurological independence, the presence of savants (who are severely deficient in major intellectual respects but have pockets of giftedness), and their different developmental courses. Someone could be a brilliant mathematician but inhabit the lowest percentiles of interpersonal intelligence.” (Kowalski & Western, 2009.) To learn successfully, one would need to maximize their strengths and compensate for the weaknesses.…
Learning is very lengthy process involving two major and important cognitive skills known as memory and concentration. The former is the ability to adopt new things and events and the later one is for holding on…
The study of individual differences in ability in psychology is one of the very oldest areas of psychology. Test assessing individual differences in mental ability have been of great practical value in occupational, industrial and educational psychology. The psychology of ability is one of the 4 main branches of individual differences, the others being personality, mood, and motivation. The term “mental ability” or “intelligence” is used to describe a person’s performance on some task that has a substantial information-processing component when the person is trying to perform the task as well as possible. Tests of ability involve thinking, rather than remembering and reflect how well individuals can process various types of information. Intelligence can be described as a multifaceted capacity that manifests itself in a different way across the lifespan, but in general includes the abilities and capacities to acquire and apply knowledge, to reason logically, to plan effectively, to infer perceptively, to exhibit sound judgment and problem-solving ability, to grasp and visualize concepts, to be mentally alert and intuitive, and to be able to find the right words and thoughts with facility, and to be able to cope, adjust, and make the most of new situations. You should measure well-motivated people that try to do their best at the tasks. Mental abilities reflect cognitive processes and skills which are partly developed during education or training. Therefore, it is difficult to assess without taking educational background and interests into consideration. So what is intelligence.. In our own intuitive understanding of what is intelligence, we might say that someone who is intelligent is able to make logical reasonable decisions, to size up situations quickly and well, has read extensively, and comes up with good ideas. It's not a simple thing to come up with a definition of intelligence that will satisfy everyone. For our purposes, though, we'll use…

Howard Earl Gardner 's (1943- ) work has been marked by a desire not to just describe the world but to help to create the conditions to change it. The scale of his contribution can be gauged from following comments in his introduction to the tenth anniversary edition of Howard Gardner 's classic work Frames of Mind. The theory of multiple intelligences:…
