Serious identification of the gifted started with the work of Lewis Terman early in the 20th century. Terman's model, based largely on IQ, may have made sense in the early 20th century, but it no longer makes sense today. The problems that society needs its gifted individuals to solve in the 21st century require much more than IQ--in addition to…

Abadzi, Helen – UNESCO International Bureau of Education, 2015
Research on memory functions and their applications is a vast field that has unfolded for decades; some important studies are sixty years old.
