Abstract
The time is ripe for extending our interest in gifted children downward to infancy and preschool. Existing research is reviewed, and a plea made for extending work in the following areas: (1) identification and description, (2) prediction from early behavior to (similar or dissimilar) later attainments, (3) studies of the origins of commitment and high achievement motivation, (4) naturalistic and experimental studies of the nurturance of exceptional abilities. Gifted babies and toddlers are compelling both in their own right and for what they can tell us about the emergence of individual differences.
