Advances in Creativity and Giftedness

Creativity, or inventiveness, talent, etc., is the ability to create something new or original and thus useful or usable. Moreover, there are different approaches to the detailed characterization of creativity and how it is created. In layman's terms, the word creativity primarily describes a person's ability to be creative or to create. A gift is a talent, a growth trait that comes before growth. Some people have an innate ability or obsession to excel at something or in some area that allows them to grow at a higher rate than others with the same amount of experience or even no experience at all.

In the present book, nine typical literatures about Creativity and Giftedness published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on Behavioral and Socio-Emotional Disorders, Meaning and Subjective Well-Being, Gifted Children with ADHD, Highly Gifted Young Adults, the interaction of visual design and creativity, ect.
