    This document discusses different theories of intelligence and learning. It defines intelligence as the ability to learn, understand new situations, apply knowledge, think abstractly, and be measured by objective tests. It outlines four major theories of intelligence: general intelligence involving a general cognitive ability; primary mental abilities involving seven specific abilities; multiple intelligences involving eight distinct types of intelligence; and the triarchic approach involving analytical, creative, and practical intelligence. The document also defines learning as an active process that leads to lasting change as a result of experience and can affect attitudes, knowledge, or behavior.

    Rabindra Singh
    What Is Intelligence?
     the ability to learn
    or understand or to
    deal with new or
    trying situations

     the ability to apply


    knowledge to
    manipulate one's
    environment or to
    think abstractly as
    measured by
    objective criteria
    (such as tests)
    Multiple Intelligence
    Conscious & Subconscious Mind
    Types of Intelligence Theories
    • General Intelligence

    • Primary Mental
    Abilities

    • Multiple Intelligences

    • The Triarchic
    Approach to
    Intelligence
    General Intelligence
    • British psychologist Charles Spearman (1863–1945) described the concept of general intelligence, or
    the "g factor."

    • After using factor analysis to examine mental aptitude tests, Spearman concluded that scores on these
    tests were remarkably similar.

    • People who performed well on one cognitive test tended to perform well on other tests, while those
    who scored badly on one test tended to score badly on others.

    • He concluded that intelligence is a general cognitive ability that researchers can measure and express
    numerically
    Primary Mental Abilities
    Psychologist Louis L. Thurstone (1887–1955) focused on seven
    primary mental abilities rather than a single, general ability. These
    include:
    • Associative Memory: The ability to memorize and recall
    • Numerical Ability: The ability to solve mathematical problems
    • Perceptual Speed: The ability to see differences and similarities
    among objects
    • Reasoning: The ability to find rules
    • Spatial Visualization: The ability to visualize relationships
    • Verbal Comprehension: The ability to define and understand words
    • Word Fluency: The ability to produce words rapidly
    Multiple Intelligences
    Among more recent ideas about intelligence is Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. He proposed
    that traditional IQ testing does not fully and accurately depict a person's abilities. He proposed eight different
    intelligences based on skills and abilities that are valued in various cultures:
    • Bodily-kinesthetic Intelligence: The ability to control body movements and handle objects skillfully
    • Interpersonal Intelligence: The capacity to detect and respond appropriately to the moods, motivations, and
    desires of others
    • Intrapersonal Intelligence: The capacity to be self-aware and in tune with inner feelings, values, beliefs, and
    thinking processes
    • Logical-mathematical Intelligence: The ability to think conceptually and abstractly, and to discern logical or
    numerical patterns
    • Musical Intelligence: The ability to produce and appreciate rhythm, pitch, and timbre
    • Naturalistic Intelligence: The ability to recognize and categorize animals, plants, and other objects in nature
    • Verbal-linguistic Intelligence: Well-developed verbal skills and sensitivity to the sounds, meanings, and
    rhythms of words
    • Visual-spatial Intelligence: The capacity to think in images and visualize accurately and abstractly
    Triarchic Approach to Intelligence
    Psychologist Robert Sternberg defined intelligence as "mental activity
    directed toward purposive adaptation to, selection, and shaping of real-
    world environments relevant to one's life."
    Although he agreed with Gardner that intelligence is much broader than a
    single, general ability, he suggested that some of Gardner's types of
    intelligence are better viewed as individual talents. Sternberg proposed the
    concept of "successful intelligence," which involves three factors:
     Analytical Intelligence: The ability to evaluate information and solve
    problems
     Creative Intelligence: The ability to come up with new ideas
     Practical Intelligence: The ability to adapt to a changing environment
    What Is Learning?
     Learning Is an Active Process

     Learning Leads to Lasting Change

     Learning Occurs As a Result of Experience

     Learning Can Affect Attitudes, Knowledge,


    or Behavior
