| Summary |
At what age should talent or giftedness be considered seriously? What happens when child prodigies grow up? What environmental characteristics are needed for talent to develop into genius? In this book, developmental, educational, cognitive, and professional psychologists find answers to these and explore other questions about the nature of creativity and domain-specific expertise (e.g., social giftedness, visual arts) and how psychology and other cognitive sciences have contributed to understanding of high ability across the life span. The debate about giftedness is extended into the realm of multiple intelligences and their environmental context. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved). |
