Exchanging New Hats for Old: A Response to Francoys Gagne's "My Convictions About the Nature of Abilities, Gifts, and Talents."

Robinson, Nancy M.

Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v22 n2 p180-90 Win 1999

Responds to this issue's initial article that presents 22 sequentially structured statements on the nature and origin of human abilities, gifts, and talents. Suggests putting aside the terms "gifted" and "talented," creating a hierarchical or categorical list of abilities, and downplaying the dichotomous conceptualization of nature and nurture.
