3.9.4 How is Need for Cognition Related to School Achievement in Particularly Talented Young People?
A mathematics talent search among sixth graders gives them the possibility of qualifying for a program called The Hamburg Model. It has been organized at the University of Hamburg every June since 1983 to identify highly gifted children in mathematics. This talent search offers interesting possibilities for research as it provides a 30-plus years sample of highly talented children. Some results will be presented exploring the correlation between the need for cognition and mathematical performances measuring mathematical creativity and knowledge.
