  • The chapters that this book comprises represent what is known about the gifted and the talented from a developmental perspective. As one author after the other stresses, this volume is equally a testament to what is not known. The chapters in this section [Part I] reflect the lack of agreement in past research over the nature of giftedness, but the authors raise similar questions for future investigations. These five chapters set forth major issues facing investigators in the field of giftedness. From the diverse points of view emerges one commonality: the call for prospective developmental research, guided by theory, to aid our understanding of the complex of factors that contribute to gifted performance. The authors of the chapters in this section [Part II] discuss giftedness in a social perspective and suggest areas in which research and innovative action might be most useful. In this section [Part III], authors explore approaches to studying the development of the gifted from diverse and innovative points of view.

  • The general goal of this book is to present a new, "triarchic" theory of human intelligence. I believe the theory goes beyond many previous theories in its scope and answers a broader array of questions about intelligence than has been answered in the past by most single theories, including my own former componential theory. Indeed, the theory is to some extent an outgrowth of the componential theory: That theory is now one of three subtheories that comprise the triarchic theory. The first subtheory, a contextual subtheory, specifies how intelligent behavior is defined in large part by the sociocultural context in which this behavior takes place. The second subtheory, an experiential subtheory, posits that for a given task or situation, contextually appropriate behavior is not equally "intelligent" at all points along the continuum of experience with that behavior or class of behaviors. . . . The same holds true for situations. The third subtheory, a componential subtheory, specifies the structures and mechanisms that underlie intelligent behavior.
