Study Notes
Factors Affecting Giftedness, Talent, and Innovation
- Giftedness, talent, and innovation are influenced by a multitude of factors, including individual, environmental, and combined individual-environmental factors.
- These factors interact significantly in shaping these characteristics.
- It's impossible to definitively separate genetic and environmental influences on an individual. All factors work together.
Individual Factors
- Genetic Factors: Certain genetic factors influence intellectual development.
- Variations in Nervous System Structure and Sensory Organs: Differences in the structure and function of the nervous system and sensory organs can influence learning and cognitive development.
- Individual Differences in Cognitive Activity: Individuals differ in their organized intellectual processes, leading to variations in generalization abilities.
- Early Stimulation: Early exposure to stimuli and experiences can facilitate cognitive development.
Additional Information
- Different Perspectives on Genetic Influences: One perspective focuses on variations in the nervous system structure affecting intelligence, while another highlights individual differences in intellectual activity impacting generalization.
- Jean Piaget (1896-1980): A Swiss psychologist known for his work on cognitive development, emphasizing how children gradually move away from anthropomorphic explanations to concepts like causality and location.
