Howard Gardner is an American psychologist who specializes in cognitive and developmental psychology. He is best known for his theory of multiple intelligences. Gardner believes that the way people usually think about intelligence is too narrow and that it is helpful to recognize other mental strengths individuals may have. His theory has helped many professionals in the field of education to embrace the idea that there are many ways to be intelligent. Howard Gardner's Childhood
Howard Earl Gardner was born on July 11, 1943 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. His parents were Ralph and Hilde Gardner. Gardner’s parents were German-Jewish immigrants who fled from Nazi persecution in Germany. They arrived in the United States with their three year old son, Eric, on November 9, 1938, just before the outbreak of World War II. Ralph and Hilde Gardner moved to Scranton soon after they landed in America. At the time, Scranton was a small coal-mining town.
