Outstanding Performers: Created, Not Born?

NEW RESULTS ON NATURE VS. NURTURE

BY DAVID R. SHANKS

Outstanding levels of performance in areas such as memory, chess, sports or music are commonly ascribed to innate talent. Dr. David Shanks of University College, London, England, describes evidence for the role of deliberate practice in achieving these levels of performance and questions the need for the notion of talent. This "anti-nativist" hypothesis is also evaluated in the area of intelligence, where, again, it appears that outstanding levels of achievement may not be due to innate ability.
