Abstract
ABSTRACT Talent development addresses important components and stages of domain trajectories from childhood through adulthood, with the goal of providing opportunities for achieving creative productivity for those with abilities and aspirations to pursue that goal. The talent development megamodel (TDMM) identifies the interaction of domain specific abilities, learning, mentoring opportunities, and psychosocial skills as central features of the model. We discuss domain specific abilities, both physical and cognitive (e.g., spatial reasoning), that drive possibilities for fulfilling talent in STEM, dance, and sport. A deeper look at these domain abilities introduces concerns for needed research especially as fields transform and evolve over time.
期刊介绍:
High Ability Studies provides a forum for scholars in a variety of disciplines associated with the development of human abilities to their highest level. It is a medium for the promotion of high ability, whether through the communication of scientific research, theory, or the exchange of practical experience and ideas. The contents of this journal are unique in reflecting concerns and recent developments in this area from childhood and across the whole life span in a variety of contexts. Far from being restricted to the traditional focus on high-level cognitive development, it also presents investigations into all other areas of human endeavour, including sport, technology, the arts, business, management and social relations.
