This criterion means that each intelligence can be articulated and communicated through some form of symbolic system. For example, linguistic intelligence is expressed through language, musical intelligence through musical notation, and logical-mathematical intelligence through mathematical symbols. The ability to encode these intelligences in symbolic forms allows for communication, teaching, and further development of these skills. It underscores the human capacity to abstractly represent and transmit complex cognitive abilities, making them accessible and teachable. This aspect is key to understanding how different intelligences are manifested and utilized in cultural and educational contexts.
