At what age should talent or giftedness be considered seriously? What happens when child prodigies grow up? What environmental characteristics are needed for talent to develop into genius? In this book, developmental, educational, cognitive, and professional psychologists find answers to these and explore other questions about the nature of creativity and domain-specific expertise (e.g., social giftedness, visual arts) and how psychology and other cognitive sciences have contributed to understanding of high ability across the life span. The debate about giftedness is extended into the realm of multiple intelligences and their environmental context. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: jacket)

This volume presents new theoretical perspectives and empirical findings on the life-span development of talent. It shows how talents are the result of the acquisition of a sequence of skills and how the acquisition of these skills is facilitated by changes in the individual's environment. It explores to what degree the development of high intelligence or achievement is similar to the development on specific domains such as personality, morality, painting, musical performance, or professional skills. It questions whether the development of talent observed for specific groups is similar to individual cases and how the different numbers of exceptionally talented women and men in several domains are to be explained. Important shifts are made away from traditional perspectives on the development of talent. Talents are no longer viewed as just a matter of stable individual differences in potential or performance and considerable efforts have been made to overcome the classical nature–nurture dichotomy. Instead, development of talents is currently examined in close relation to changing support, changing constraints and changing tasks.
