PEREIRA DA COSTA, María e LUBART, Todd I.. Gifted and talented children: heterogeneity and individual differences. Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.3, pp.662-671. ISSN 1695-2294. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.32.3.259421.
Giftedness is a large topic, covering many domains of activity and diverse manifestations. In this paper, we examine two specific topics: (a) cognitive profiles of gifted children and, (b) musical talent development. The common point of these studies is the observation of the heterogeneity of individual profiles. The results of the first study performed on 99 children with an IQ equal to or higher than 130, shows a large heterogeneity in intellectual potential, which is masked if we look only on the overall IQ. A hierarchical clustering analysis identifies six classes of children with contrasting means profiles. The second study is an exploratory research, in which we try to describe the environment of music pupils and to evaluate the importance that parents and teachers give to the main success factors for musical training. Our results highlight several differentiated profiles relating to the contexts of training, centred on the representation that the child has of music.
