Editing Kinesthetic learning (section)

== History ==
Kinesthetic intelligence, which was originally coupled with tactile abilities, was defined and discussed in [[Howard Gardner]]'s ''[[Frames Of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences]]'' in 1983. In this book, Gardner describes activities such as dancing and performing surgeries as requiring great kinesthetic intelligence: using the body to create (or do) something.

[[Margaret H'Doubler]] wrote and spoke about kinesthetic learning during the 1940s, defining kinesthetic learning as the human body's ability to express itself through movement and dance.

[[Viktor Lowenfeld]] used the term in his textbook for [[art educators]], ''Creative and Mental Growth''.
