Giftedness and Flexibility on a Mathematical Set-Breaking Task.

Dover, Arlene; Shore, Bruce M.

Gifted Child Quarterly, v35 n2 p99-105 Spr 1991

Nineteen gifted students and 11 average students, age 11, completed Einstellung Test problems and were queried about their metacognitive knowledge. A three-way interaction among giftedness, speed, and flexibility was found, with metacognitive knowledge as the criterion. Regardless of speed, inflexible children had less metacognitive knowledge than flexible children. (Author/JDD)
