Howard Gardner
(1943-)
Howard Gardner is a developmental psychologist at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. In his 1983 book
Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, Gardner claimed humans have several different ways of processing information, and these ways are relatively independent of one another.
Gardner's multiple intelligences have nothing to do with multiple personalities (a psychological disorder), schizophrenics, or split-brain patients whose corpus callosum has been severed (See
Roger Sperry and
Michael Gazzaniga.
In 2000, Gardner and colleagues at the Harvard Graduate School of Education established a master's degree program in Mind, Brain and Education, which has been emulated in many other education schools.
