Abstract | In the 20 years since the publication of "Frames of Mind" by Howard Gardner, two major developments have altered the prospects for making a connection between neuropsychology and theories of how people differ. The first of these events was that electrical or magnetic recording make it possible to "see" inside the brain as people think. Results from imaging studies provide support for Gardners distinction among domains in terms of the separable anatomical networks they activate. The second major event has been the sequencing of the entire human genome. Results from recent studies suggest that it is possible to examine individual efficiency in specific neural networks by combining the methods of brain imaging with modern genetic studies. Attention is not one of Gardner's multiple intelligences, but it is an area in which progress is being made in integrating individual differences with general properties of the mind. Research on attention may have important applications for education, and it may be that the training of attention will become an important part of early childhood education. (Contains 28 references.)
