STERNBERG THEORY OF INTELLIGENCE

COMPONENTIAL(Analytical Intelligence). Mental steps or components used to solve problems. Think

EXPERIENTIAL(Creative Intelligence). Use of experience in ways that foster insight. Formulate new ideas,
to combine seemingly unrelated facts

CONTEXTUAL(Practical Intelligence). Ability to read and adapt to everyday life. Shape the environment
to maximize one's strength and compensate one's weaknesses

HOWARD GARDNER'S MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE

understands the natural world

composing musical pieces

PHILOSOPHER, CLERGY

CATTELL'S INTELLIGENCE THEORY

FLUID INTELLIGENCE. Ability to develop techniques for solving problems. Ability to learn new things and
usually short-term memory.

CRYSTALLIZED INTELLIGENCE. Ability to use acquired knowledge for problem solving. Based on facts and
a long-term memory.

VISUAL/ SPATIAL REASONING. Visual-spatial intelligence is the ability to perceive, analyze, understand,
store, and recall visual information. It allows you to visualize, create, and manipulate yourself and other
items in space.

PERKINS' THEORY OF LEARNABLE INTELLIGENCE

NEURAL. It can't be changed,the speed process of our brain. Involves the genetically determined
abilities of a person's neurological system.

EXPERIENTIAL. The accumulated knowledge through experience. The more experiences we have, the
more we expand our experiential intelligence.

REFLECTIVE. A person's ability to use and manipulate their mental skills. These are the thinking
strategies that we use to effectively utilize our neural and experiential [Link]-monitoring and
self-management.

THEORIES OF STYLES

COGNITIVE STYLE
a)Field Independence. Ability to separate details from the surrounding context. More independent,
competitive and self-confident,perform better in deductive lessons.

b)Field Dependence. Inability to distinguish detail from other information around it. More socialized,
more emphatic and perceptive of the feelings and thoughts of others, perform better in inductive
lessons.

SCANNING. Differences in the extent and intensity of attention resulting in variations in the vividness of
experience and the span of awareness.

LEVELING VERSUS SHARPENING. Individual variations in remembering that pertain to the distinctiveness
of memories and the tendency to merge similar events.

REFLECTION VERSUS IMPULSIVITY . Individual consistencies in the speed and adequacy with which
alternative hypotheses are formed and responses made.

CONCEPTUAL [Link] to categorize perceived similarities among stimuli in terms

THINKING STYLES

CONCRETE RANDOM THINKERS . Yearn to [Link] alternate ways to do things and need to
make choices.

CONCRETE SEQUENTIAL THINKERS. Identify through their [Link] structure and organization and
need systematic procedures and steps.

ABSTRACT SEQUENTIAL THINKERS. Are rational, logical thinkers. Investigate and analyze and need time
to examine and investigate new ideas.

ABSTRACT RANDOM THINKERS. Identify feelings and emotions. Interact with others, then make
decisions

LEARNING STYLE PREFERENCES

[Link] learners do well when they use symbols, boxes, charts and colours in their notes. If you
find that you learn better by reading and looking at pictures, diagrams and graphs etc. the chances are
you're a visual learner.

[Link] used by verbal learners are reciting information out loud, writing your own notes
and highlighting the key points. Having a passion for words. writing, tongue twisters, rhymes. may
indicate that this learning style is for you.
[Link] learning involves using sound and music. Auditory learners develop understanding and
memory by hearing and listening. If you find it easier to understand spoken instructions rather than
reading, aural learning will benefit you.

[Link] learning involves using your body and sense of touch to learn. Physical learners learn
by doing, touching, moving, building. and are described as a hands-on". If you find it difficult to sit still
for long periods of time, chances are you're a physical learner.

[Link] learners often learn by asking a lot of questions. Logical learners want to understand
the whole picture. They are natural thinkers who learn by classifying, categorizing and thinking
abstractly about patterns & relationships etc.

[Link] learners prefer to learn in groups rather than on their own and like generating ideas by
brainstorming with others. If you like taking part in group sports and prefer social activities than doing
things on your own, you may be a social learner.

FELDER AND SOLOMAN'S MODEL OF LEARNING STYLE

ACTIVE AND REFLECTIVE. Active learners learn by direct interaction with the material prefer group
[Link] learners like to think about the material prefer individual or very small group
communication.

SENSING AND INQUITIVE. Sensing learners are detail-oriented and practical with a preference for
concrete facts and real world [Link] learners have a creative disposition and are drawn to
the theoretical and abstract.

VISUAL AND VERBAL. Visual learners are better able to remember images they have seen (charts,
graphs, pictures). Verbal learners are better able to remember written or spoken words.

SEQUENTIAL AND GLOBAL. Sequential learners prefer learning linearly, with logical steps. Global
learners prefer a holistic approach and seem to learn almost randomly by fitting pieces together into a
big picture.

HARVEY SILVER'S LEARNING STYLE

MASTERY [Link] to learn practical information and procedures. Learn best when instruction is
focused on modeling new skills, practicing, and feedback sessions

UNDERSTANDING LEARNER. Wants to use logic, debate, and inquiry to investigate ideas. Learn best
when they are challenged to think and explain their ideas

INTERPERSONAL LEARNER. Wants to learn about things that affect people's lives. Learn best when their
teacher pays attention to their successes and struggles
SELF- EXPRESSIVE LEARNER. Wants to use their imaginations to explore ideas. Learn best when they are
invited to express themselves in unique and original ways
