Criterion for an Intelligence Modality?
Criterion for an Intelligence Modality?
A separation criterion is used to determine if a cognitive ability is a unique intelligence. Physical strength and agility are NOT one of the criteria according to the theory of multiple intelligences.
How many sets of abilities did Howard Gardner propose?
How many sets of abilities did Howard Gardner propose?
Howard Gardner proposed that human intelligence is divided into eight distinct categories or sets of abilities. He outlined these in his groundbreaking book 'Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences.'

Study Notes
Theory of Multiple Intelligences
- The theory proposes multiple sets of abilities, rather than a single general intelligence factor.
- In 'Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences', Howard Gardner proposed 7-10 sets of abilities.
Separation Criteria for Intelligence 'Modality'
- Not being able to be entirely encoded in a set of rules or a computer program is a separation criterion for an intelligence 'modality'.
- Being utilized in a culturally valued way is a separation criterion for an intelligence 'modality'.
Characteristics of Intelligence 'Modality'
- A key characteristic of an intelligence 'modality' is that it is an autonomous human cognitive ability.
Criticisms of the Theory
- A criticism of the theory by mainstream psychology is that it lacks empirical evidence and is more of a philosophical argument.
