Free webinar: Knowns and Unknowns about Cognitive Excellence
We are excited to announce a new webinar on giftedness, hosted by the MDPI's Journal of Intelligence. The session will include presentations by Dr. Jakob Pietschnig, Prof. Dr. Tanja Gabriele Baudson, and Mr. Jonathan Fries.
From the website:
Research into characteristics of gifted individuals has shown that exceptionally high cognitive abilities are typically associated with desirable life outcomes. Large-scale efforts such as the Terman study or more recently the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY) consistently yielded positive correlations between cognitive abilities and, for instance, job prestige, salary, or self-reported ...
Conference poster guidelines
We've received a few questions about poster size and format for the upcoming conference. Poster presenters should aim for a poster with dimensions about 84 x 119 cm (corresponds to about 33 x 47 inches).
Apart from size, we do not have any formalized requirements for design or format of your poster. Posters should ideally be easy-to-read, with clearly outlined sections and text that's large enough to read from a normal standing distance. The NYU has an excellent set of poster guidelines that will apply to posters at most academic conferences:
What makes a good poster?
Important information should be readable from about 3 meters ...

Journal of Intelligence: Special Issue on Giftedness
Jakob Pietschnig and Tanja Baudson will be editing a special issue titled “A Century beyond Terman: Knowns and Unknowns about Cognitive Excellence” in the Journal of Intelligence. This special issue is broadly focusing on the topic of cognitive abilities and giftedness.
Within this topical frame, empirical submissions are invited that focus on one or more of the following topics:
- Group differences between gifted vs. non-gifted populations;
- Predictors of exceptional cognitive abilities;
- Perception of gifted individuals;
- Cross-temporal changes in the perception of giftedness (both historically and ontogenetically);
- Environmental ...

Human intelligence is associated with adaptations of the brain to different cognitive demands: a new study shows that for brains of people with higher intelligence scores it is easier to adapt to different tasks.
Participants of the study (data from the Human Connectome ...
