Gardner: Multiple Intelligences
Asked 1 month ago · Viewed 11 times
Under the Triarchic Theory of Intelligence, Robert Sternberg proposed three major sub-theories of intelligence: Componential/Analytical, Experiential/Creative, and Contextual/Practical. If a child easily solves difficult theoretical problems based on abstract thinking and analytical skills, but finds it difficult to establish practical adaptation in novel situations, according to Sternberg's model, which sub-theory is most active in their intellectual structure, and how is it different from Practical Intelligence?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to the Triarchic Theory of Intelligence proposed by Robert Sternberg, componential or analytical intelligence reflects a person's internal information-processing abilities, through which they analyze, evaluate, and logically solve problems. In contrast, contextual or practical intelligence provides the ability to adapt, select, and shape one's environment. This model explains the broad and practical nature of intelligence rather than limiting it to traditional IQ.
