Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences
Gardner’s theory suggests that intelligence is not limited to traditional IQ but includes various cognitive abilities:
- Musical Intelligence: Sensitivity to sounds, rhythms, and music.
- Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence: Ability to control body movements and handle objects skillfully.
- Logical-Mathematical Intelligence: Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking skills.
- Intrapersonal Intelligence: Deep self-awareness and understanding of emotions.
- Linguistic Intelligence: Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Interpersonal Intelligence: Excellent at understanding and interacting with others.
- Spatial Intelligence: Ability to visualize and manipulate objects in space.
- Naturalist Intelligence: Deep appreciation and understanding of nature and the environment.
- Existential Intelligence: Ability to reflect on deep philosophical questions about life and existence.
Learners with Exceptionalities
Some students have unique learning needs that require specialized support
Learning Disabilities: Affect reading, writing, or math skills (e.g., dyslexia).
Communication Disorders: Issues with speech or language processing.
Intellectual Disabilities: Lower-than-average cognitive functioning.
ADHD: Difficulty with focus, impulse control, and hyperactivity.
Emotional Behavioral Disorders: May include anxiety, depression, or conduct disorders.
Autism Spectrum Disorder: Affects social skills, communication, and behavior.
Gifted and Talented: High intellectual ability or exceptional skill in a particular field.
A stimulus that initially does not trigger any response.
Neutral Stimulus
A naturally occurring stimulus that elicits an automatic response.
Unconditioned Stimulus
The automatic reaction to an unconditioned stimulus.
Unconditioned Response
A previously neutral stimulus that, after being paired with the unconditioned stimulus, elicits a response.
Conditioned Stimulus
learned response to the conditioned stimulus.
Conditioned response
Thorndike’s Three Laws of Learning
Law of Effect
Law of Exercise
Law of Readiness
Behaviors followed by positive outcomes are more likely to be repeated, while behaviors followed by negative outcomes are less likely.
Law of Effect
The more a behavior is practiced, the stronger the connection becomes.
Example: A child repeatedly solving math problems will become more proficient.
Law of Exercise
Learning is most effective when the learner is mentally and physically prepared.
Example: A child uninterested in reading will struggle to learn unless they are ready and motivated.
Law of Readiness
is learning based on reinforcement and punishment, developed by B.F. Skinner.
Operant Conditioning
Increases the likelihood of a behavior occurring again.
Reinforcement
Adding a pleasant stimulus to encourage behavior.
Example: Giving a sticker for completing homework.
Positive Reinforcement
