High Intellectual Ability: Extracurricular Enrichment and Cognitive Management
Sastre-Riba, Sylvia
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v36 n1 p119-132 Mar 2013
This study aims to provide a better understanding of high intellectual abilities and of how to address the educational needs of those who possess such abilities. Within the emergent paradigm, high intellectual abilities are understood as multidimensional and as the result of lifetime development; that is, not only are they the result of their neurobiological basis but also of the interrelation among opportunity, personality, psychosocial factors, and individual effort. This study describes the basis of a program of extracurricular enrichment and its interrelation with research procedures and results. (Contains 2 tables.)
