Firstly, it aims to demonstrate that comparison between Eastern and Western…

Gifted education is leading an interdisciplinary paradigm shift moving education out of its historic role of entrenching systemic inequities. It is a crucible for pioneering investigations of optimal human development and provides a vehicle for increasing social equity. We review changing conceptions of intelligence, motivation and creativity, and…

He espouses Viktor Lowenfeld's concept of "Creative Intelligence" and describes the Future Problem Solving Program as a way to…

This discussion of the limits of creativity education defines the concept of "limit," explores the limits of intellectual abilities, outlines efforts used by psychologists and psychiatrists to improve mental performance, and notes the importance of extending creativity through the life span. (JDD)

Reviews the perspective of Donald Campbell on creative thought and argues that the role of blind variation and selective retention in Darwinian evaluation and human invention is different. Proposes that a contrast can be drawn between "smart" and "not so smart" blind variation. (CR)

Argues that while blind variation and selective retention (BVSR) may not be involved in all forms of human behavior and thought, Donald Campbell has made a compelling case that human creativity and invention involve BVSR. The complementary nature of prior and current BVSR in creative human endeavor is discussed. (Author/CR)

The problem of this research design was to determine the effect of the degree of bilingualism upon creative acts in 10th grade high school students who are Anglo-oriented as compared with bilinguals who are non Anglo-oriented. A total 600 bilingual students, 300 from each of two high schools in Laredo School District (Spanish usage reinforced) and…

This introductory article discusses a blind-variation and selective-retention model of the creative process developed by Donald Campbell.

Argues that the cognitive mechanisms in human creativity are, for the most part, sighted rather than blind.
