Comments on an article by Françoys Gagné (see record 2004-22507-002). This paper by Françoys Gagné represents a substantial effort to examine a large body of research and theory related to human abilities and interpret it from the perspective of his Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent (DGMT). While the DMGT is highly speculative and tries hard to relate its message to technical conceptions of giftedness and talent, he has nevertheless done an excellent job of drawing in much of the most relevant theory and research. One major problem with the paper is his efforts to define 'giftedness', a term used very little outside of the professional field of gifted education: high ability, natural ability, precocity, talent, aptitude--which should it be? And then he goes on and tries to give us frequency or numbers or percentages for 'giftedness and talent' reflecting a continuing and often seemingly arbitrary and fruitless quest for the magic numbers. Finally, the author disagrees with Gagné's dismissal of Ericsson's excellent and well-recognized research on the development of skills and expertise--topics which are highly relevant to talent development.

Giftedness, talent, expertise, and creative achievement are inextricably linked concepts. As we seek to understand the development of abilities in youth and the rise to high-level achievement in adulthood, these concepts may guide our efforts to nurture and establish conditions for their full fruition. The purpose of this chapter, then, is to examine the basic nature of giftedness, talent, expertise, and creative achievement and their interrelationships as they affect and guide the education of gifted and talented youth and to delineate guidelines for the development of high-level and creative achievement in adulthood. What genetic potentials and facilitative conditions combine and interact to produce expertise and/or high-level creative achievement? From exhaustive study of the lives of creative achievers, Gardner (1993) and Simonton (1997) offer some insights based on in-depth analysis of the lives of high-level, creative achievers. At first one is struck by the diversity among very high achievers: staid Albert Einstein, flamboyant Picasso, isolated Georgia O'Keefe, scholarly Darwin, and adventurous Ernest Hemingway! Are there common characteristics that might account for their genius or serve as predictors of creative achievement? Or are they too unique as examples of high-level achievement? Insights derived from research on the lives of great achievers are examined later in this chapter. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: create)
