Response to Opportunity to Display Advanced AbilitiesAs others have previously stated, it may be unclear what a potentially gifted child can do, unless that child is presented with opportunities to demonstrate his or her advanced abilities. Rose gave relatively uncomplicated and direct answers when the lower level questions were asked. It was not until questions of a more complex nature were asked that she was able to demonstrate fully her verbal and cognitive abilities. One could argue, therefore, that for a young child of Rose’s ability, higher order questioning is useful not only in enabling the child to demonstrate more sophisticated skills but also in providing an opportunity for further developing intellectual thinking. What is not known, however, is whether this will prove to be true for all children who are intellectually advanced or, indeed, whether it will also be true for children of lesser ability.
