Innate talents: A psychological tautology?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (3):419-419 (1998)
| Abstract | The tautological implications of “innate talents” are outlined. Analogies are drawn between the present review and the nature–nurture controversies of 40 years ago. Ferguson's (1954; 1956) theoretical positions are proposed as a context in which to consider present and future attempts to resolve this long-standing issue. | |||||||||
