Howard Earl Gardner (born Ju11, 194394is 3) American- developmental psychologist and the John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Research Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education at Harvard University. He is currently the senior director of Harvard Project Zero, and since 1995, he has been the co-director of The Good Project Gardner has written hundreds of research articles and thirty books that have been translated into more than thirty languages. He is best known for his, as outlined in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Gardner believes that intelligence, the way it has traditionally been understood (logically, as with I.Q. tests), does not explain the wide variety of human abilities. The theory of Multiple Intelligences suggests that we excel with different types of intelligence.
