Analysis Of Howard Gardener's Theory Of Multiple Intelligences
Part A
“Modifying an Existing Behavior”
To diligently comprehend the behavior of humans and other animals, a systematic approach is used. Behaviors seen within someone; are assumed to be an outcome from a response to a certain stimulus in the environment, resulted from the subject’s past, including reinforcement and punishment; along with the individual’s current motivational state and controlling stimuli (David L. 2007). In order for a person to change or modify an existing behavior, whether undesirable or to strengthen a desirable behavior, the two important factors that are necessary during the modification of the behavioral process are repetition and consistency. Individuals are made up of many behaviors, some that they are content with and others that they are not so fond of.

In Gardner’s theory, there are naturalistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, musical, linguistic, logical mathematical, bodily kinesthetic, and visual-spatial intelligences. Gardener suggests that a person may have talent in a number of areas and be completely untalented in another area (Gardener H, 2011).
There are a number of tests; one can use to determine the types of intelligence possessed by an individual. To test naturalistic, I will ask the individual to explain how to find directions just by using things in the outside environment.
Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to interact effectively with others. To test this intelligence, I would have the individual lead a group and see how effective they are in leading the group.
Next, there is intrapersonal intelligence. Persons who possess intrapersonal intelligence tend to be aware of their life directions. In order to test this, I will have the individual write an outline for their life goals, and the time span to succeed their
