Brain Specialization

Theory of brain specialization suggests that different parts of the brain control specific tasks. For example, we know that the left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for language. Through these findings, Gardner was able to develop his own theory of multiple intelligences (MI Theory) which defends the idea that different regions of the brain are in control of different aspects of intelligence or, more correctly, different intelligences all together. To defend his theory of multiple intelligences, Gardner developed eight indicators that would define an intelligence. Some of the indicators were potential isolation of the intelligence by brain damage (for example, a stroke), evidence that the intelligence has developed though evolutionary
