Abstract

Abstract The Fullerton Longitudinal Study offers a unique opportunity to model the stability of intelligence and achievement and their relations from elementary through secondary school. Using latent variable modeling, we fit a cross-lagged panel model to examine the relations between intelligence and achievement in two academic domains: mathematics and reading. Findings revealed that students’ achievement is highly stable across the school years. Childhood intelligence is a strong predictor of initial mathematics and reading achievement. After age 7-years, intelligence is not predictive of either mathematics or reading achievement after accounting for prior achievement. Students who enter school with strong academic skills tend to maintain their academic advantage throughout their elementary and secondary education. We discuss the implications of these results for talent development.

发展人才:对智力和学术成就的纵向考察

富勒顿纵向研究提供了一个独特的机会来模拟智力和成就的稳定性及其从小学到中学的关系。利用潜变量模型，我们拟合了一个交叉滞后面板模型来检验智力与数学和阅读两个学术领域的成就之间的关系。研究结果显示，学生的成绩在整个学年都非常稳定。童年智力是数学和阅读成绩的重要预测指标。7岁以后，考虑到先前的成绩，智力不能预测数学或阅读成绩。具有较强学术技能进入学校的学生往往在他们的小学和中学教育中保持他们的学术优势。我们将讨论这些结果对人才发展的影响。

期刊介绍： High Ability Studies provides a forum for scholars in a variety of disciplines associated with the development of human abilities to their highest level. It is a medium for the promotion of high ability, whether through the communication of scientific research, theory, or the exchange of practical experience and ideas. The contents of this journal are unique in reflecting concerns and recent developments in this area from childhood and across the whole life span in a variety of contexts. Far from being restricted to the traditional focus on high-level cognitive development, it also presents investigations into all other areas of human endeavour, including sport, technology, the arts, business, management and social relations.
