AP Psychology
Unit 5 – Cognitive Psychology
Topic 5.9
How is Charles Spearman's theory of general intelligence criticized in relation to Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences?
Gardner opposes the idea of intelligence entirely, contrary to Spearman who supports it.
Spearman's theory oversimplifies intelligence by attributing it to a single factor, while Gardner suggests multiple distinct areas of ability.
Both theories are identical; there is no significant difference or critique between them.
Spearman's theory is too complex and takes into account too many factors compared to Gardner's simpler understanding.
