Hidden Talents Framework - Implications for Science, Policy, and Practice

Children growing up in harsh environments may develop intact, or even enhanced, skills for solving problems in high-adversity contexts (i.e., 'hidden talents'). This Element proposes that stress-adapted skills represent a form of adaptive intelligence enabling individuals to function within the constraints of harsh environments.

Riassunto

Children growing up in harsh environments may develop intact, or even enhanced, skills for solving problems in high-adversity contexts (i.e., 'hidden talents').
