Learning Categories

Beyond these three categories, many theories of and approaches toward human learning potential have been established. | Among them is the theory of multiple intelligences developed by Howard Gardner,Ph.D., John H.and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Research Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education at Harvard University. | Gardner's early work in psychology and later in human cognition and human potential led to his development of the initial six intelligences. | Many of us are familiar with three broad categories in which people learn: visual learning, auditory learning, and kinesthetic learning. | Today there are nine intelligences, and the possibility of others may eventually expand the list.
