520    "The editors envision this volume as a handbook for 
       researchers in psychology and education who target 
       exceptional populations in their work, and particularly 
       individuals exhibiting gifts and talents. The research 
       tools described here can help to move the scholarship on 
       giftedness and talent development to a new level of rigor 
       and encourage the testing of program models, as well as 
       predictive validity of theoretical or conceptual 
       frameworks (see for example Sternberg & Davidson, 2005). 
       Of course, the methods described in these chapters can 
       also be usefully applied in general populations or in 
       studies dealing with specialized subpopulations other than
       gifted and talented. The scholars who contributed to the 
       first nine chapters of this volume are pioneers in the 
       field of measurement and statistics, and they show us most
       elegantly how the methodologies they have mastered or 
       developed can apply to samples that, by their nature, make
       statistical analysis more challenging. We tasked our 
       contributors to address the following four barriers, and 
       one facilitator, associated with gifted education research
       : Definitions of giftedness and talent are not 
       standardized; Test ceilings can be too low to measure 
       progress or growth; Comparison groups are difficult to 
       find for extraordinary individuals; Participant attrition 
       in longitudinal studies may compromise tests of 
       hypothesized effects; and, Qualitative research conducted 
       with gifted populations can be enhanced due to highly 
       articulate study participants"--Introduction. (PsycINFO
