in this review, three sets of considerations on the development of morality [in gifted children] are presented: (1) moral behavior is based on specific cognitive abilities of rational analysis and discussion of actions concerning rights, duties and consequences (about life, affects, well-being of self and others); (2) moral behavior has roots in affect/emotion and on control and integration of drives and needs (in terms of empathy, care for others, task commitment); and (3) moral behavior needs to be nurtured by specific education which concerns both the cognitive and the emotional aspects (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)

review research on the genetics of general cognitive ability that converges on the conclusion that this dimension of behavior shows considerable genetic influence / describe a recent study which is the first to show that genetic factors are important, not only for the normal range of variation in cognitive ability, but also for high cognitive ability / genetic research on this basic question of the impact of genetics on cognitive ability also raises interesting issues about the environment / in addition, genetic research on cognitive ability has begun to go beyond the basic nature–nurture question concerning the relative effects of genetic and environmental influences to ask more sophisticated questions such as developmental and multivariate questions / the most exciting recent advance is that the power of molecular genetic techniques is beginning to be harnessed in order to identify specific genes responsible for genetic influence on cognitive ability (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)

the model for developing and nurturing verbal talents presented in this chapter is not a call for an uncritical return to tradition, neither is it a paean to the educational status quo / a close examination of the literature on the development of linguistic abilities, language acquisition, and literacy combined with 15 years of experience providing effective programs for verbally talented youth provide the basis for the proposals set forth / presents a model which integrates grounding in traditional disciplines with society's need for verbal talents which are flexible and broadly transferable to a variety of complex situations / this model . . . combines contemporary pedagogical methods, emphasizing the child's central role in the active construction of knowledge, with a curriculum rooted in the traditional forms and structures of language and linguistic expression (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)

explore thinking processes as an important component of a contemporary conception of giftedness and its development / address four issues related to thinking processes and giftedness: first, some of the principal ways in which the thinking processes of gifted persons differ from those of other people, with a focus on recent and ongoing research into cognitive processes; second, . . . evidence to link the intellectual performance of very young children to the higher level thinking observed in older children and in adults; third, and briefly, the nature and success of programs intended to train people to think in these ways and thereby to enhance their intellectual abilities; and fourth, some concluding thoughts about broader educational implications (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)
