Children’s Giftedness and Its Determinants
Authored by Ami Rokach*
Some of the salient ‘ingredients’ of
giftedness are reviewed. They include the origins of giftedness and creativity,
is nature or nurture responsible for giftedness, characteristics of the gifted,
and the role of their family in enhancimng their talents and assisting them to
address difficulties that they may face and which may be related to their
giftedness. We, the public, often hear success stories about young prodigies
who grew up to become amazingly creative and successful adults, such as Mark
Zukerberg, Bill Gates Pablo Picasso, Mozart or even Lady Gaga. Wallas proposed
a Four-Stage Model to describe for the creative process. That model highlighted
the preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification stages of the
creative process. Other researchers extended and revised that model, such as
Guilford’s who emphasised ideational flexibility, fluency, and novelty, and
Cropley’s who talked about attention to usefulness. In summary, there are a
number of alternative, and rather ingenious ways that creativity and the creative
process were described Pfeiffer.
