Bringing out Head Start Talents: Findings from the Field.

Karnes, Merle B.; Johnson, Lawrence J.

Gifted Child Quarterly, v31 n4 p174-79 Fall 1987

Head Start children (n=446), divided into intervention and comparison groups, received programing to enhance thinking skills. Intervention group children identified as gifted also received programing in their talent area. Intervention group children, whether or not identified as gifted, made significant gains over the comparison group in cognitive and creative functioning. (Author/JDD)
