Gardner: Multiple Intelligences
Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 2,353 times
In the context of contemporary psychological theories of transfer of learning, which of the following statements is most appropriate and true regarding the implications of Edward Thorndike and Robert Woodworth's 'Theory of Identical Elements' (concerning procedural, sensorimotor, and content commonalities) and Howard Gardner's 'Theory of Multiple Intelligences' (concerning independent intellectual capacities like spatial, linguistic, bodily-kinesthetic) for modern multidisciplinary classroom instruction, cognitive flexibility, and the enhancement of transfer of learning in students?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Transfer of Learning and Multiple Intelligences
This question examines the intersection of modern cognitive theories regarding the transfer of learning and intelligence in child development and pedagogy.
- Theory of Identical Elements: Proposed by Edward Thorndike and Robert Woodworth, this theory posits that knowledge or skills learned in one context transfer to another only to the extent that the two contexts share common elements, procedures, or content.
- Theory of Multiple Intelligences: Proposed by Howard Gardner, it suggests that intelligence is not a single general ability, but rather a collection of distinct, relatively autonomous modalities (e.g., spatial, linguistic, bodily-kinesthetic).
- Pedagogical Implication: Integrating differentiated instruction that engages multiple intelligences with the application of shared procedural elements greatly enhances cognitive flexibility and meaningful transfer of learning in students.
Therefore, Option (b) accurately synthesizes these psychological principles.
