How Hirsch uses it
Every occurrence, grouped by book and chapter, with the claim it was linked to support and (where the extraction regenerated one) the underlying warrant.
1996 · The Schools We Need
George A. Miller's 1983 review in the New York Times Book Review critiquing Gardner's catalogue of intelligences.
direct Neither multiple intelligences theory nor multiple learning styles theory is well accepted in the scientific community.
Warrant (implicit): The validity of an educational theory is determined by its level of acceptance and peer-review consensus within the mainstream scientific community.
could fail ifScientific paradigms often resist revolutionary theories initially, meaning lack of consensus could reflect institutional inertia rather than theoretical falsehood.
George Miller's critique of the psychometric validity of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences.
direct Neither multiple intelligences theory nor multiple learning styles theory is well accepted in the scientific community.
Warrant (implicit): A theory lacks scientific credibility if prominent psychometricians find that its constituent categories cannot be independently measured or validated.
could fail ifPsychometricians favor 'g' (general intelligence) due to the constraints of their mathematical models, which may be ill-equipped to capture distinct modular talents.
Expert testimony from George A. Miller stating that Gardner's specific classifications of multiple intelligences are almost certainly wrong.
direct Howard Gardner's specific taxonomy of multiple intelligences and his general interpretation of them are not widely accepted by the psychological community.
Warrant (implicit): The validity of a psychological theory is contingent upon its acceptance by the broader community of experts in the relevant scientific discipline.
could fail ifThe psychological community may have a paradigm bias or institutional inertia that leads them to reject novel but valid modular theories of intelligence.
2016 · Why Knowledge Matters
George A. Miller's 1983 review of multiple intelligences in the New York Times Review of Books, stating the theory is underevidenced.
direct Multiple-intelligences theory lacks scientific evidence and provides no practical educational utility.
Warrant (implicit): A theory that lacks empirical validation and does not provide actionable strategies for improving outcomes is invalid for use in professional education.
could fail ifA theory can be scientifically 'underevidenced' while still providing a useful metaphorical framework that helps teachers differentiate instruction more creatively.
