Detailed explanation-1: -People with savant syndrome have limited mental ability overall but possess one or more exceptional skills, which, according to Howard Gardner, suggests that our abilities come in separate packages rather than being fully expressed by one general intelligence that encompasses all of our talents.
Detailed explanation-2: -These include behaviors such as obsessive preoccupation with, and memorization of, music and sports trivia, license plate numbers, maps, historical facts, or obscure items such as vacuum cleaner motor sounds, for example.
Detailed explanation-3: -Savant syndrome seems to support Howard Gardner’s view that we have multiple intelligences. He proposed eight independent intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and naturalist.
Detailed explanation-4: -How does the phenomenon of savant syndrome argue against there being a single generalized intelligence? Savants have certain remarkable talents despite also having low IQ. IQ is no longer a relevant term, because most intelligence scales: use a normal distribution for scoring.
