In today’s episode of The Literate Caveman, we discuss Logical-Mathematical Intelligence from Howard Gardner’s Frames of Mind.  In this chapter, Gardner discusses his research and how it agrees with, and at some points disagrees with, the work of Jean Piaget.  He also discusses the brevity of the careers of most career mathematicians, and I compare that to what I have learned about the careers of competitive athletes, from my career in strength and conditioning.  

Today we are discussing Musical Intelligence, from a chapter by Howard Gardner’s book Frames of Mind.  Frames of Mind, first published in 1983, collects over 30 years of research and theories on the idea of multiple, fairly autonomous intelligences that work together, as opposed to a single, overarching intelligence.  

Howard Gardner is an American researcher and Professor of Cognition and Education.  Frames of Mind, first published in 1983, collects over 30 years of research and theories on the idea of multiple, fairly autonomous intelligences that work together, as opposed to a single, overarching intelligence.  It also challenges the widely accepted importance of IQ tests.  Today we are discussing Linguistic Intelligence.  

Howard Gardner is a researcher who has long worked on the idea that intelligence is not limited to a single, overarching quality.  He also has some interesting thoughts on the limitations of IQ tests, and education.  His research has led him to believe there is a strong possibility that intelligence is more complex, and that humans possess several different facets of intelligence that work together in daily life.  In today’s episode, we introduce his book ‘Frames of Mind, the Theory of Multiple Intelligences’ and discuss some of the ideas, and the history of this concept of multiple intelligences.
