The gifted student is a subject with an above-average intellectual capacity, observing cognitive differences in quantitative and qualitative level, having a maturity inappropriate to age (perception and visual memory), developing metacognitive ability at an early age, creative talent, intrinsic motivation for learning, precocity. Gifted children need higher education programs or services that are usually found in school curricula in order to contribute to society.
