Major Contributions to Instructional Development

 Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences states that not only do human beings have many different ways to learn and process information, but that these are independent of each other: leading to multiple "intelligences" as opposed to a general intelligence factor among correlated abilities. In 1999 Gardner currently lists eight intelligences as

• linguistic
• logic-mathematical
• musical
• spatial
• bodily kinesthetic
• naturalist
• interpersonal
• intrapersonal
