What theory is associated with seven different components of intelligence including language ability and logical thinking?

Behaviorism
Cognitive Development Theory
Theory of Multiple Intelligences (Howard Gardner)
Transactional Theory of Literary Works

The correct answer is: Theory of Multiple Intelligences (Howard Gardner)

The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, proposed by Howard Gardner, identifies seven distinct types of intelligence that reflect the different ways individuals process information and learn. This theory recognizes intelligence as a broader spectrum than traditionally measured, encompassing not only language ability and logical reasoning but also other areas such as musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic intelligences. By understanding that intelligence is multifaceted, educators can tailor their teaching methods to better accommodate diverse learning styles and strengths in the classroom. The focus on a wide range of intelligences allows for a more inclusive approach to education, acknowledging that students may excel in different areas beyond just linguistic and logical-mathematical skills. This contrasts with other theories mentioned, which do not encompass the same comprehensive understanding of intelligence diversity.
