دانلود کتاب The Gifted Child Grows Up: Twenty-Five Years’ Follow-Up of a Superior Group

This is the fourth volume resulting from the Stanford studies of gifted children. Those which preceded it have dealt successively with _The Mental and Physical Traits of a Thousand Gifted Children_ (Terman et al., 1925), _The Early Mental Traits of Three Hundred Geniuses_ (Cox, 1926), and _The Promise of Youth: Follow-up Studies of a Thousand Gifted Children_ (Burks, Jensen, and Terman, 1930). The present volume is an over-all report of the work done with the California group of gifted subjects from l921 to 1946, the greater part of it being devoted to a summary of the follow-up data obtained in 1940 and 1945. At the latter date the average age of the group was approximately thirty-five years, a period of life when the adult careers of the subjects are rapidly taking form. The chief aim of the report is to give as complete a picture as possible, within a single volume, of what the group is like at the end of the first twenty-five years of testing and observation.
