- Howard Gardner's book - 'Frames of Mind' (1983)
- He did not believe there was "one form of cognition which cut across all human thinking".
- There are multiple intelligences with autonomous intelligence capacities".
- So, intelligence cannot be viewed as a single entity. There are different types of intelligences which are independent of each other.
- Further, people may have varied combinations of these intelligences.
- Gardner initially proposed seven types of Intelligence which later on he increased to nine
Logical-mathematical Intelligence is the ability to use logical reasoning and mathematical ability.
