Abstract

Multiple intelligence has confronted condemnation due to the absence of empirical and neuroscientific provision with some dismissing it as a neuromyth.Critics inquire on its practicality and claim that it probably shares neural coherence, rather than being linked with distinct brain regions.Earlier studies on the claims are too old.Study goals to discover present research showed from 2019 to 2024 to offer a thoughtful of the theory, which has been criticized as a neuromyth by researchers especially in cognitive neuroscience.A thematic analysis identified ten (10) themes from five (5) selected articles by using VOS viewer software for constructing and visualizing bibliometric networks of studies which debating the theory as a neuromyth theory.These themes are lack of empirical evidence of brain studies, interconnectedness of intelligence, bridging theory with empirical evidence, neural correlating, quantitively unmeasured, marketable profit, less experiential and rigorous academical practice, neuroscience and education and the theory is not neuromyth.Study underlines the importance of a cooperative approach between education and neuroscience.Additional research is desired to discover how the theory could be reconciled with more wellknown models of intelligence and brain function to be recognized as a valid scientific theory.
