Sternberg, Saul

Saul Sternberg is a cognitive psychologist best known for his work on intelligence and problem-solving. He developed the Triarchic Theory of Intelligence, which suggests that intelligence comprises three interconnected components: analytical skills (problem-solving and reasoning), creative abilities (thinking outside the box), and practical skills (everyday decision-making). His research emphasizes that different types of intelligence work together, influencing how people learn and adapt to challenges. Sternberg's work helps us understand that intelligence isn't just one thing but a combination of abilities that contribute to how effectively an individual functions in various situations.
