Dr. Tobias' belief that there are separate brain regions for different mental functions is similar to Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which posits that there are separate intelligences for different types of abilities (e.g. musical intelligence, spatial intelligence). Thurstone's theory of primary mental abilities and Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence also address different aspects of mental functioning, but they do not specifically propose separate brain regions for different abilities. Ceci's work focuses on the nature vs. nurture debate in intelligence, but not on brain regions specifically.
