Abstract
The Integrative Model of Talent Development shows how talent development has its distal origins in the progressive emergence of natural abilities, as early as through the complex process of embryogenesis. The Differentiating Model of Giftedness and Talent introduced a clear conceptual differentiation between the two labels giftedness and talent. Giftedness designates the possession and use of biologically anchored and informally developed outstanding natural abilities or aptitudes, in at least one ability domain, to a degree that places an individual at least among the top 10% of age peers. The large sets of intrapersonal and environmental catalysts affect the talent development process either positively or negatively. Chance represents the degree of control talentees have over the various causal factors affecting their talent development. The Developmental Model for Natural Abilities aimed to integrate these biological foundations as building blocks in the development of natural abilities and gifts.
