Early Development of Cognitive Abilities and Giftedness.

Clark, Barbara

Journal of Children in Contemporary Society, v18 n3-4 p5-15 Spr-Sum 1986

Studies in intellectual development, brain organization, and learning are summarized. They show that neither intelligence nor giftedness are solely the result of cognitive functions. Both rely on the use of the total brain in an appropriate environment. Intelligence is dynamic. It must be used and developed or it will be lost. (PS)
