1.Raymond Cattell- He is the best known for his 16 factors personality model, developing the
concept of fluid versus crystallized intelligence and working with factor and multivariate analysis.
He subsequently developed the 16 pf personality questionnaire which is still widely used today.
2.Louis Thurstone- his theory is primary mental abilities and developed the statistical technique of
multiple factor analysis. He developed methods of scaling psychological measures, assessing
attitudes, and test theory among many other influential contributions.
3.Charles Spearman- He developed his two-factor theory of intelligence using factor analysis. His
research not only led him to develop the concept of the 9 factor of general intelligence, but also
the 9 factor of specific intellectual abilities.
4.Howard Gardner- His theory us multiple intelligences that people are not born with all of the
intelligence they will ever have. He introduced eight different types of intelligences consisting of
linguistic, logical Mathematica, Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal
and Naturalist. He writes that we may all have these intelligences, but our profile of these
intelligence may differ individually based on genetics or experience.
5. Jean Piaget – He is most famously known for his theory of cognitive development that looked
at how children develop intellectually throughout the course of childhood. He is also credited as a
pioneer of the constructivist theory which suggests that people actively construct their knowledge
their knowledge of the world based on the interactions between their ideas and their experiences.
6.Lev Vygotsky- he is best known for his sociocultural theory, he believed that social interaction
plays a critical role in children’s learning. Vygotsky noted that culture profoundly influences this
process. Imitation, guided learning, and collaborative learning all plays a critical part in his theory.
Vygotsky stressed the important role that culture plays, suggesting cultural differences can have a
dramatic effect on development.
7.Rober Sternberg- His theories are love, intelligence and creativity. He developed his very first
intelligence test, which he named the Sternberg Test of Mental Ability (STOMA). He titled the
triarchic that emphasizes three aspects of intelligent behavior: Components, Context and
experience.

The endocrine system is in charge in the production of different hormones in the body and the
undersecretion and oversecration of certain hormone can have an immediate, long term and short
term effect on the person. The nervous system controls the full functioning of the other body
systems and it affects a person’s behavior depending on the trajectory of the brain development.
