Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences

• Howard Gardner's book - 'Frames of Mind' (1983)

• He did not believe there was "one form of cognition which cut across all human thinking".

• So, intelligence cannot be viewed as a single entity. There are different types of intelligences which are independent of each other.
