Question

Whose theory suggests that tiger woods's ability to hit a golf ball or gymnast gabby douglas's ability to do somersaults on a balance beam might be considered a form of intelligence?

Answer 1

Gardner is best known for his Theory of Multiple Intelligences from his book the Frames of Mind, that reinforces his cross cultural perspective of human cognition. One of the intelligences proposed by Gardner's theory is the Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence which is characterized by control of one's bodily motions and the capacity to handle objects skillfully. People who have bodily-kinesthetic intelligence are physically active and are good at activities such as sports, dance, and acting.
