Actualizing Talent

This text is concerned with the development of ability to an exceptionally high level throughout the lifespan, considering the ages at which high ability can be detected and how it may be continued at its peak for life. The papers in the book describe both fundamental and applied approaches with regard to varied aspects of high ability, for example, as learning procedures and specific areas, such as art and sport. The book concludes with ideas on how the needs of the highly able could be met by educational set-ups, government and industry.
