Giftedness refers to a student’s
possession and use of outstanding natural abilities, called aptitudes, in at least one ability domain, (e.g.
intellectual, artistic or sensorimotor). Talent refers to outstanding mastery of systematically developed abilities, called competencies (knowledge and skills), in at least one field of human activity. Talent emerges from ability as a consequence of the student’s learning experience. Gifted
