Haensly, Patricia A.; Lee, Kyung Sook
Gifted Education International, v14 n2 p133-50 2000
To explore cultural influences on giftedness, a study was conducted of 20 culturally diverse children (ages 3-5) attending a specialized summer program for bright preschoolers. Observed behaviors are described, illustrated by examples in context, categorized as to epistemological orientation, and related to Gibson's human behavior hallmarks. (Contains references.)
