Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences
Many of us are familiar with three broad categories in which people learn: visual learning, auditory learning, and kinesthetic learning. Beyond these three categories, many theories of and approaches toward human learning potential have been established.

Introduced as a revolutionary psychological construct, it came to be severely criticized by psychologists for its lack of empirical evidence, its dependence on subjective judgement and its overall unscientific and speculative nature.[2][3]
