Abstract
This chapter discusses theories and conceptions of giftedness. First, it presents some of the history of these theories and conceptions-from domain-general to domain-specific to systems to developmental models. Then it reviews programs based on various conceptions of giftedness, including the theory of successful intelligence, the third-ring conception, Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY), and German models. Then it discusses the future of the field and finally it draws conclusions.
