Robert J. Sternberg's research on cognitive style and model of "mental self-government" at all educational levels have led to a pilot elementary/secondary curriculum to help students develop common sense and practical judgment as well as intellect. The interinstitutional effort between Yale and Harvard universities includes Howard Gardner, known for his theory of multiple intelligences. (MSE)
