    Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence

    Uploaded by

    John Patrick De Castro
    Sternberg developed the Triarchic Theory of Intelligence which defines three types of intelligence: analytical, creative, and practical. The theory breaks down into three subtheories. The contextual subtheory ties intelligence to one's environment and ability to adapt, select, or shape their environment. The experiential subtheory sees intelligence on a continuum from novel to familiar tasks. The componential subtheory outlines mental processes like planning, monitoring, and taking action. Sternberg's theory focuses on successful intelligence comprising these three elements to adapt to a changing world.

    STERNBERG’S

    TRIARCHIC THEORY
    OF INTELLIGENCE
    • He is an American psychologist known for his theories of love,
    intelligence and creativity.
    • Born in New Jersey on December 9, 1949.
    • His later academic experiences further demonstrated the
    standard tests were often poor measures of mental abilities. He
    actually performed so poorly in his Introductory Psychology
    class that his professor advised him to pursue a different major.
    • He went on to graduate from Yale with a bachelor’s in
    psychology in 1972 and his Ph.D. from Stanford in 1975.
    • After earning his degree, he returned to Yale as a professor of
    psychology.
    • He later became the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at
    Tufts University. He was a professor of psychology at
    Oklahoma State University, and later president and professor
    of psychology and education at the University of Wyoming.
    • He is currently professor of human development in the College
    of Human Ecology at Cornell University.
    Sternberg broke his theory down into the
    following three subtheories:

    Contextual subtheory: The contextual subtheory


    says that intelligence is intertwined with the
    individual’s environment. Thus, intelligence is based
    on the way one functions in their everyday
    circumstances, including one’s ability to:
    a) adapt to one’s environment,
    b) select the best environment for oneself, or
    c) shape the environment to better fit one’s needs and
    desires.
    • Experiential subtheory: The experiential subtheory
    proposes that there is a continuum of experience from
    novel to automation to which intelligence can be
    applied. It’s at the extremes of this continuum that
    intelligence is best demonstrated. At the novel end of the
    spectrum, an individual is confronted with an unfamiliar
    task or situation and must come up with a way to deal
    with it. At the automation end of the spectrum, one has
    become familiar with a given task or situation and can
    now handle it with minimal thought.
    • Componential subtheory: The componential theory
    outlines the various mechanisms that result in
    intelligence. According to Sternberg, this subtheory is
    comprised of three kinds of mental processes or
    components:
    – Metacomponents enable us to monitor, control, and
    evaluate our mental processing, so that we can make
    decisions, solve problems, and create plans.
    – Performance components are what enable us to take
    action on the plans and decisions arrived at by the
    metacomponents.
    KINDS OF INTELLIGENCE
    Each subtheory reflects a particular kind of intelligence or ability:
    • Practical intelligence: Sternberg called one’s ability to successfully interact
    with the everyday world practical intelligence. Practical intelligence is related
    to the contextual subtheory. Practically intelligent people are especially adept
    at behaving in successful ways in their external environment.
    • Creative intelligence: The experiential subtheory is related to creative
    intelligence, which is one’s ability to use existing knowledge to create new
    ways to handle new problems or cope in new situations.
    • Analytical intelligence: The componential subtheory is related to analytical
    intelligence, which is essentially academic intelligence. Analytical intelligence
    is used to solve problems and is the kind of intelligence that is measured by a
    standard IQ test.
    • His Triachic Theory of Intelligence focuses on what
    he refers to as successful intelligence which is
    composed of three elements: analytical
    intelligence (problem-solving abilities), creative
    intelligence (using prior knowledge and skills to
    deal with new situations) and practical
    intelligence (the ability to adapt to a changing
    world)
    Analytical Intelligence
    Mental steps or components
    used to solve problems

    Creative Intelligence Practical Intelligence

    that foster insight the contexts of everyday life
