<P> The theory of multiple intelligences differentiates intelligence into specific ' modalities ' , rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability . Howard Gardner proposed this model in his 1983 book Frames of Mind : The Theory of Multiple Intelligences . According to the theory , an intelligence must fulfill eight criteria : potential for brain isolation by brain damage , place in evolutionary history , presence of core operations , susceptibility to encoding ( symbolic expression ) , a distinct developmental progression , the existence of savants , prodigies and other exceptional people , and support from experimental psychology and psychometric findings . </P>
