Howard Gardner
Howard Gardner is an American psychologist. He was born in 1943 and graduated from Harvard University in 1961 with a major in social relations. He got his Ph.D from Harvard in 1971 and continued to work at Harvard after that. He is best known for his theory on multiple intelligences, which states that there are many different types of intelligences that exist in people. Gardner theorized that the traditional definition of intelligence does not fully include the variety of abilities that people display. Just because a child is better at something than another child does not mean that one is more intelligent than the other. The children may learn differently, or one may do better in a different task. Gardner’s theory sought to more accurately define the concept of intelligence and questioned the methods used to measure intelligence.
