Gifted Children and Their Identification: Learning Ability Not Intelligence.
Tyerman, Maurice J.
Gifted Education International, v4 n2 p81-84 1986
Use of conventional standardized intelligence tests to identify gifted students presents problems with students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Assessment of learning ability (in particular the method of "test, teach, and test") may be a better method for identifying gifted students. Tests being used in Israel and Great Britain are described. (CB)
