Is planning related to dynamic testing outcomes? Investigating the potential for learning of gifted and average-ability children

Abstract

Is planning related to dynamic testing outcomes? Investigating the potential for learning of gifted and averageability children.

Development of attentional networks in intellectually gifted children

“…In conclusion, high intelligence does not always reflect faster performance (Reams, Chamrad & Robinson, 1990). In the same vein, some studies have shown an equivalent learning progression in intellectually gifted and average children (Vogelaar, Bakker, Elliott, & Resing, 2017a;2017b;Vogelaar, Resing, Stad, & Sweijen, 2019). Although there are some contradictory results (Calero, Belen, & Robles, 2011;Kanevsky & Geake, 2004), the rapidity to learn in IGC seems not to distinguish from IAC in the potential of learning.…”

“…Although there are some contradictory results (Calero, Belen, & Robles, 2011;Kanevsky & Geake, 2004), the rapidity to learn in IGC seems not to distinguish from IAC in the potential of learning. The specificity of intellectual giftedness concerns on the high capacity to learn and to generalize their newly acquired knowledge in other contexts (Calero et al, 2011;Vogelaar et al, 2017aVogelaar et al, , 2017bVogelaar et al, , 2019. This high learning capacity might be tied to their high performance in reasoning (Caropreso & White, 1994), working memory (Calero, García-Martín, Jiménez, Kazén, & Araque, 2007;Hoard, Geary, Byrd-Craven, & Nugent, 2008;Leikin, Paz-Baruch, & Leikin, 2013;van Viersen, Kroesbergen, Slot, & de Bree, 2014), metacognitive abilities (Oppong, Shore, Muis, 2019) and executive functions (Arffa, 2007).…”

Computerized dynamic testing of children's potential for reasoning by analogy: The role of executive functioning

“…Other studies have found that visuo‐spatial working memory (Resing, 2013) and metacognition (Vogelaar et al, 2017) were related to improvements in analogical reasoning after training. In a study by Vogelaar, Resing, Stad, and Sweijen (2019) it was, furthermore, found that planning predicted the number of prompts children needed in the first training session, but not the second.…”

“…The current study aimed to broaden the existing knowledge regarding the relationship between analogical reasoning and executive functioning by examining children's potential for solving analogies, using a newly developed computerized dynamic test of analogical reasoning. As dynamic testing is suggested to compensate for weaknesses in these functions (Vogelaar et al, 2017, Vogelaar et al, 2019), it was examined whether they would be differentially related to static and dynamic measures of analogical reasoning. In the test utilized in the current study, children had to construct their own answers, which was believed to provide insight into the process of task‐solving.…”

The Processes of the Formation of a Gifted Person in Distant Districts of the Arctic: the Digital Age

“…Applied aspects of identifying extraordinary abilities of children are studied by such scientists as Vogelaar B, Calero M., Adelson J, Smedsrud J., and others. [7][8][9][10]. Important methodological issues related to an integrated approach to the problem of giftedness, taking into account its personal components, have been posed by AK.…”
