gifted

Examples of gifted in the following topics:

• The Intellectually Gifted

  • Finally, some school districts create entire gifted classrooms.
  • Gifted programs can be beneficial to the gifted child by keeping the child engaged in learning.
  • Gifted programs can also be detrimental to children.
  • The students identified as "not gifted" may believe they are not as intelligent as those who are labeled gifted, and in turn they may not put forth the same effort at school.
  • Another detriment to gifted programs is that students who are not identified as gifted are denied the benefits of enriched education.

• Educational Psychology

• Altruism: Helping

  • The potential benefits from a relationship can be tangible, such as food, money, gifts, or housing.

• Applications of Psychological Theories to the Life of a Student

  • It is concerned with how students learn and develop, often focusing on subgroups such as gifted children and those subject to specific disabilities.

• Standardized Tests

  • Norm-referenced standardized tests are also one of the factors in deciding if students are eligible for special-education or gifted-and-talented programs.

• Careers in Psychology

  • School psychology combines principles from educational psychology and clinical psychology to understand and treat students with learning disabilities, foster the intellectual growth of gifted students, facilitate prosocial behaviors in children, and otherwise promote a safe, supportive, and effective learning environment.

• Introduction to Language

  • There are rules for every level of language—word formation (for example, native speakers of English have internalized the general rule that -ed is the ending for past-tense verbs, so even when they encounter a brand-new verb, they automatically know how to put it into past tense); phrase formation (for example, knowing that when you use the verb “buy,” it needs a subject and an object; “She buys” is wrong, but “She buys a gift” is okay); and sentence formation.

• Theories of Multiple Intelligence

  • If a savant such as Peek was measured by Gardner's multiple intelligence theory, he would be considered to be very gifted in a subtype of intelligence, such as linguistics.

• Intellectual Disabilities

  • Person-centered planning seeks to address this problem by encouraging a focus on the person with intellectual disabilities as someone with capacities and gifts as well as support needs.

• The Cognitive and Achievement Approaches to Motivation

  • A child who has to work and save for a bicycle, for example, will value it more and take better care of it than if the bicycle was given as a gift, with no effort on the part of the child.
