Abstract
Clear evidence of large individual differences in children's performan
ce in talent areas can be explained either in terms of innate gifts (t
he ''talent account'') or in terms of early exposure (the ''no talent
account'' proposed by Howe et al.). At this point, there is no conclus
ive support for either account, and it is doubtful that talent could b
e explained exclusively by only one of them.
