Women aged 19-29, 40-49, 50-59, and 60 yrs. and over who made 112 or more weighted score points on the Wechsler-Bellevue Scale were compared with respect to subtest pattern. Mean education for all age groups was about 14 yrs. The pattern was significantly different between young and elderly groups. Scores of verbal tests increased with age but those of performance tests decreased. DQ declined with age. The data were discussed in the context of IQ level of S, and the method of investigation, i.e., cross sectional or longitudinal. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)

Tests of short-term learning and memory were administered to matched sample of intellectually superior Ss at 3 age levels; 17-35, 36-55, and 56-74. In general, test scores declined differentially with age. The effect of age on decline of incidental or latent learning was discussed in terms of "a loss in surplus intellectual resources."

The reading background of 50 superior readers among college freshmen were studied. Approximately half of them reported that they were able to read before entering the first grade; of these, two thirds had been taught to read by some member of their families. Half of the students reported that they became interested in reading because they were curious about the content of the books. The family played a more important role in fostering interest in books in early years than the school did. No definite answer was given to the question if giftedness in reading could be identified early in the life of the child. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract thought consists of varying degrees of decathexis of objects in order to deal with nonrepresentational aspects of their attributes such as class, quantity, and physical spatial relationships. The psychotic keeps the intermediate stages of concept formation close to the primary process, while the gifted individual keeps the results of the intermediate steps available to the secondary process. Under the impact of the transference the controlled regressive aspects of abstract thinking may be disturbed and thus bear a closer resemblance to the thought process of the psychotic. 46-item bibliography.

A study of 32 children having Hennon-Nelson IQs of 130 or more, half of whom were superior students, and half of whom were poor students, indicates that the patterns of underachievement and high achievement are apparent by Grade V, and continue into the secondary school. A number of other conclusions are briefly mentioned. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

An artist is a person possessing unusual creativity in any field. Creative talent means greater sensitivity to sensory stimulation, unusual capacity for awareness of relations between various stimuli, predisposition to an empathy of wider range and deeper vibration than usual, and sensorimotor equipment for building up projective motor discharges for expressive functions. "… genius is a gift of the gods, and is already laid down at birth." The artistic product is a love gift to the world. There is no intrinsic connection between talent and neurosis. Direction of development of genius or talent is largely determined by identifications. Creative activity is highly libidinized and highly aggressive.

A group of 28 scholastic underachievers was compared with a group of 30 high achievers. Although the two groups differ significantly in grades, they do not differ on the basis of standardized achievement tests. It is hypothesized that underachievement on the part of bright students is related to the basic personality matrix. Underachievement appears to be related to hostility towards others, possibly towards authority in particular. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

The challenge to elementary and secondary schools is to nurture the motivations flowing from giftedness. This will lead them to seek admission to college. The author discusses ways of working with the motives of these children by utilizing their interests; by directing their activities; by developing understandings, skills, and life purposes; and by providing variety and quantity of materials and equipment. Satisfactions and dissatisfactions can be recognized by teachers and used constructively. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

The 9 years since 1944 have been marked by research writings which reveal a greater awareness of the gifted children's potential social contributions, a growing curiosity regarding the nature of giftedness, the start of a ten-year community study involving the gifted, and an apparent slight rise in graduate research on the problems of the gifted. The author highlights the results of 80 studies. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

This is a highly condensed report of a 5-year pattern of research studies made on 45 gifted children from Grade III through Grade VII in the University of Chicago Laboratory School. The test and observation data are interpreted in terms of personality differences associated with differing patternings of academic achievement, sex differences, and the attending social motivational pictures. Inferences relevant to educational practices are drawn. 20 references. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)
