**Biography **
Gardener was born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania on July 11th 1943. He graduated at Harvard University in 1971. During his time in Harvard he studied with Jerome Bruner and Erik Erikson, who were development psychologists. He is known for the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. This is based on his research on human intelligence, the development of abilities and how they are associated with the educational development in humans. Gardner’s theory originates from neuropsychology and has distinguished eight types of intelligences within human’s that work different areas of the brain. The eight intelligence include Linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalist. http://www.newhorizons.org/ future/Creating_the_Future/ crfut_gardner.html_ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
