Some researchers have used factor analysis to support the idea that there are multiple types of intelligences

Explain why evidence from head injuries, the existence of savants, and most people's everyday experiences with those around them also support the theory of multiple intelligences.

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: A good answer will include the following key points.
? An individual may experience a head injury or stroke and lose one ability (such as language production) without any loss in other aspects of intelligence.
? Savants are individuals with low mental capacity in most domains but extraordinary abilities in other specific areas such as music, mathematics, or art. If intelligence was a single ability, then we would not expect such brilliance in one area and impaired functioning in others.
? Most people know individuals that excel in some cognitive abilities, but do poorly on some specific tasks.
