Title
The development of giftedness and talent across the life span
Abstract
In this volume, renowned developmental psychologists and experts in gifted education come together to explore giftedness from early childhood through the elder years. Focusing on the practical implications of emerging theoretical perspectives and empirical findings, contributors examine prediction and measurement, diversity issues, and psychosocial factors as they relate to developing talent in different domains. Is the expression of gifted behavior predictable? Is it a stable individual characteristic? How do race, ethnicity, gender, and culture influence or contribute to the development of gifted and talented behaviors? What sustains the development of giftedness and talent? And how can insights gleaned from the field of gifted education inform the research, policy, and practice of psychologists? These questions are considered at each stage across the life span by an interdisciplinary team of experts. This volume is intended for developmental and educational psychologists, as well as for researchers, educators, and anyone interested in the development of high-level abilities, individual differences, educational policy and practice, and the realization of human potential.

abstractTranslation: En este volumen, renombrados psicólogos del desarrollo y expertos en educación de superdotados se unen para explorar la superdotación desde la primera infancia hasta la vejez. Centrándose en las implicaciones prácticas de las perspectivas teóricas emergentes y los hallazgos empíricos, los colaboradores examinan la predicción y la medición, los problemas de diversidad y los factores psicosociales en relación con el desarrollo del talento en diferentes dominios. ¿Es predecible la expresión del comportamiento de los superdotados? ¿Es una característica individual estable? ¿De qué manera la raza, la etnia, el género y la cultura influyen o contribuyen al desarrollo de comportamientos de superdotados y talentosos? ¿Qué sostiene el desarrollo de la superdotación y el talento? ¿Y cómo pueden los conocimientos obtenidos del campo de la educación de los superdotados informar la investigación, la política y la práctica de los psicólogos? Estas preguntas son consideradas en cada etapa a lo largo de la vida por un equipo interdisciplinario de expertos. Este volumen está dirigido a psicólogos del desarrollo y de la educación, así como a investigadores, educadores y cualquier persona interesada en el desarrollo de habilidades de alto nivel, las diferencias individuales, la política y la práctica educativa y la realización del potencial humano.
