"Contemporary Psychology "
This volume summarizes a study designed to assess the outcomes
of early identification and schooling for a group of highly gifted
children. The subjects were graduates of one of America's most
selective educational institutions, the Hunter College Elementary
School (HCES). HCES developed as an outgrowth of a series of
experiments and philosophical statements reflecting the political
and social history of the United States in the first half of the
20th century, and was created in1941 to serve children with IQ
scores at least two standard deviations above the mean. This book
proposes that the reported reflections of individuals in their 40s
and 50s, who were selected at approximately age 4 for special
instruction on the basis of high IQ scores, can provide insight
into the development of future educational options for gifted
students. The objective is to contribute these unique perspectives
to the literature that describes and analyzes the long-term
outcomes of educational decisions concerning the identification and
education of gifted children.
