Prior, Susan – Gifted and Talented International, 2011
The research available to find the voice of the student who is intellectually gifted is examined briefly in regard to the changes in education. In contrasting and critiquing different views I confirm that there is little direct information available from individuals in mainstream classes who are intellectually gifted as to what they experience as…

Murray, Charles – American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, 2007
In January, W. H. Brady Scholar Charles Murray stepped back from current education debates about reauthorization of the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act and education funding in the president's budget to ask more fundamental questions about the goals that should shape American education in the future. This "On the Issues" is adapted from…

Gallagher, James J. – Roeper Review, 2005
This article discusses the innovative minority. Gifted students differ from the average students. There are those who argue that the differences are a matter merely of quantitative degree reference studies of IQ scores, or SAT scores, which are clearly quantitative scales, and point out that gifted students appear at the top level of these scales…

Elkind, David – Intelligence, 1981
The question of how to integrate developmental (Piagetian) and psychometric conceptions and assessments of intelligence is considered. A solution which incorporates the contributions of each position--intelligence as forms and as traits--is offered. Premises and objectives of each tradition are reviewed and compared. Overlaps make synthesis…

Dale, Evelyn J. – 1983
Given the uncertainty of the future and the rapidity with which computer technology is changing, a generalist position on the objectives of educational computing is desirable. This position insists that learning how to think and solve problems is the foundation of education and suggests that basic learning needs to be an integral part of the…

Spitz, Herman H. – Intelligence, 1981
Persons representing the extremes of intelligence cannot be included in the same study unless they are approximately equated on mental age, in which case the relative performances of the extreme groups can provide useful information about the nature of intelligence. (Author/RD)

Ritchhart, Ron – Roeper Review, 2001
This article explores what the concept of intellectual character offers that traditional views of intelligence based on abilities do not. The origins of the concept of thinking dispositions are traced and various views regarding the dispositions that might comprise and define one's intellectual character are investigated. Educational implications…

Purcell, Jeanne H. – Roeper Review, 1996
This paper considers the role of intelligence in lifetime achievement, noting the importance not only of general cognitive ability but also abilities not measured by standardized intelligence tests. It urges educators of the gifted to utilize their knowledge of intelligence and talent development to challenge the one-dimensional conception of…

Plucker, Jonathan A. – Roeper Review, 2001
This introductory article examines how intelligence theory influences the way we identify and assess students, our attitudes toward giftedness and gifted students, the models upon which we base our programs and interventions, and many other aspects of gifted education. Past, present, and emerging intelligence theories are discussed. (Contains…

Galbraith, Richard C. – Intelligence, 1982
Zajonc and Bargh's (EJ 241 537) application of the confluence model to six national data sets is critiqued. Extreme differences in intelligence levels are predicted between nations, including substantial retardation for some populations. Moreover, the parameter values used do not allow mental growth functions which are consistent with previous…

Ramey, Craig T.; Haskins, Ron – Intelligence, 1981
In this response to the critiques by Jensen and McVicker Hunt, we focus on the meaning of g, the permanence of effects produced by early education, and the educational significance of IQ gains produced by early education programs. New longitudinal data from our study presented. (Author/RD)

Keil, Frank C. – Intelligence, 1982
An approach to intelligence which emphasizes domain-specific constraints on knowledge structures is compared to information processing approaches. The evaluation of any cognitive ability as being intelligent crucially depends on prior specification of the formal constraints on the domains of knowledge from which that ability originates.

Kanevsky, Lannie – Roeper Review, 1995
A model of the sources of differences in the learning potentials of students is presented, including group differences in learning potentials between gifted and nongifted students; interindividual differences between gifted students; intraindividual differences within one gifted student; and independent and interactive contributions of…

Hunt, J. McVicker – Intelligence, 1981
Ramey and Haskins report two findings of major importance: absence of decline in test scores and absence of mother-child correlation for treated children. Implications of these findings are discussed. (Author)

Borkowski, John G.; And Others – Intelligence, 1985
Jensen (1985) caused us to reexamine earlier findings. After correcting perceptual efficiency and executive systems measures for unreliability, original conclusions remain tenable. Control processes are factors in understanding race-related differences in intelligence. We do not deny the association of "speediness" but argue for a multidimensional…
