4. Theories of
multiple
intelligence
Howard Gardner proposed the
theory of multiple intelligence.
According to him, intelligence is
not a single entity; rather distinct
types of intelligences exist.
5. Linguistic and Logical-Mathematical
5
• Linguistic : skills involved in
the production and use of
language.
• Logical-mathematical : skills
in scientific thinking and
problem solving.
6. Spatial , Musical and Bodily-
kineaesthetic
6
• Spatial : skills in forming visual images and
patterns
• Musical : sensitivity to musical rhythms and
patterns
• Bodily kineaesthetics : using whole or
portions of the body flexibly and creatively
7. • Interpersonal : sensitivity to subtle
aspects of others’ behaviours.
• Intrapersonal : awareness of one’s
own feelings, motives and desires.
• Naturalistic : sensitivity to the features
of natural world.

Robert Sternberg (1985)
proposed the Triarchic theory of
intelligence.
Sternberg views intelligence as ,
“the ability to adapt , to shape
and select environment to
accomplish one’s goals and
those of one’s society and
culture”.

Theory of
Intelligence
9. 1. Componential Intelligence : Specifies the
cognitive processes that underline all
intelligent behaviour.
2. Experimential Intelligence : Specifies how
experiences affect intelligence and how
intelligence affects a person’s experience.
3. Contextual Intelligence : Specifies the
behaviours considered intelligent in a particular
culture.

10. PASS model
10
PASS is the abbreviation of
Planning, Attention arousal and
Simultaneous-Successive Model
of Intelligence.
It was proposed by J.P. Das ,
Jack Naglieri, and Kirby (1994).
According to this model,
intellectual activity involves the
interdependent functioning of
three neurological systems
called the functional units of
brain.
11. 1. Arousal/Attention : Its enables a
person to process an information.
2. Simultaneous and successive
processing : Simultaneous means
grasping the meaning and relationship.
Successive processing means recalling
the information leads to the recall of
another information.
3. Planning : It allows us to think of the
possible courses of action, implement
them to reach a target and evaluate their
effectiveness.
