[tips] Re: Termites

[Marie Helweg-Larsen]

I do not know anything about Terman's kids, but I did attend APS's address where Malcolm Gladwell spoke about child prodigies and its myths. You can see it described here. http://psychologicalscience.org/observer/getArticle.cfm?id=2026 Marie Beth Benoit wrote: Hi Everyone, I've had my students in Human Development do some research on subjects of Lewis Terman's experiments on gifted children.  Does anyone have any interesting insights?  My students have found a couple of obituaries which said Terman's studies showed gifted children were taller, better leaders, had better social skills, etc.    The only statistically significant finding I recall is that "cheerier" people don't live as long.   Any input from those who are more knowledgeable on the subject than I?   Beth Benoit Granite State College Portsmouth NH --- To make changes to your subscription go to: http://acsun.frostburg.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=tips&text_mode=0&lang=english -- ********************************************* Marie Helweg-Larsen, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Psychology Dickinson College, P.O.
