Title
Developing talent across the life span
Abstract
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. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

abstractTranslation: Este volumen presenta nuevas perspectivas teóricas y hallazgos empíricos sobre el desarrollo del talento a lo largo de la vida. Muestra cómo los talentos son el resultado de la adquisición de una secuencia de habilidades y cómo la adquisición de estas habilidades se ve facilitada por los cambios en el entorno del individuo. Explora hasta qué punto el desarrollo de la alta inteligencia o los logros son similares al desarrollo en dominios específicos como la personalidad, la moralidad, la pintura, la interpretación musical o las habilidades profesionales. Se pregunta si el desarrollo del talento observado para grupos específicos es similar a los casos individuales y cómo se explican los diferentes números de mujeres y hombres excepcionalmente talentosos en varios dominios. Se producen cambios importantes que se alejan de las perspectivas tradicionales sobre el desarrollo del talento. Los talentos ya no se ven solo como una cuestión de diferencias individuales estables en el potencial o el rendimiento, y se han realizado esfuerzos considerables para superar la dicotomía clásica entre la naturaleza y la crianza. En cambio, el desarrollo de los talentos se examina actualmente en estrecha relación con el cambio de apoyo, el cambio de restricciones y el cambio de tareas.
