  • This special issue focuses on a developmental view of giftedness. A developmental perspective on giftedness is in consonance with current views that recognize the dynamic nature of developing abilities and the importance of understanding the processes involved in, and the pathways to, gifted performance. The papers span early childhood to adolescence and a variety of domains-mathematics, narrative, and spatial-artistic. Together, the papers provide a fine-grained view of what makes giftedness from a neo-Piagetian perspective, resulting in a 'design for development' that has strong educational implications. A developmental perspective on giftedness provides a way of capturing the emergent nature of giftedness through articulation of its characteristics at different points in development. Contemporary work in psychology and intelligence questions the absolute, static view of giftedness embodied in traditional notions of giftedness, as defined by superior performance on an intelligence test. There is such developmental diversity among children and adolescents with high IQs that it makes the definition of little use in fostering development in a holistic fashion. The papers in this issue highlight what constitutes giftedness in different domains and raise questions about its developmental course. They suggest that giftedness is more complex than a unitary view can capture. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

  • This paper describes a developmental psychological approach to understanding giftedness. A theoretical model of exceptional expertise is used to frame our understanding of how gifted children's conceptual knowledge develops in a variety of domains and how the interplay of this conceptual knowledge with domain-specific skills results in rich, elaborate thinking. This model provides a 'design for development' of giftedness in a variety of domains. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: journal abstract)
