Intelligence or intelligences?
• Experts do not agree on whether intelligence stays the same, or is
something that can be learned.
• Ideas about intelligence also differ between ideas of one type of
intelligence and of multiple intelligences.
• In the 1980s, Howard Gardner developed a theory:
• There is no one general form of intelligence
• People show different types of intelligence. This idea is known as ‘multiple
intelligences’.
