Doctoral Dissertation Research:Testing Technologies in the Behavioral Sciences

行为科学中的测试技术在约翰·卡森的指导下，博士生卡特琳娜·米休里斯将记录心理健康和智力测试背后的科学和技术。通过对天才儿童和性别差异的关注，联合pi将为行为科学的历史做出贡献。识别和培养天才儿童对当代民主国家非常重要，因为智力和艺术资本对促进国家繁荣至关重要。这项研究有望帮助正在探索天赋问题的行为科学家更好地理解关于儿童天赋的相互矛盾的理论及其调查方法，从而使他们成为更敏感、更警觉的研究人员和诊断专家。

Testing Technologies in the Behavioral SciencesUnder the supervision of John Carson, Ph.D. student Katerina Mishuris will document the science behind and technologies developed for mental health and intelligence testing. With a focus on gifted children, and gender differences, the co-PI will contribute to the history of the behavioral sciences. The identification and nurturing of gifted children, is important to contemporary democracies, where intellectual and artistic capital is essential to the advancement of national prosperity. This study promises to help behavioral scientists, who are exploring questions of talent, to better comprehend conflicting theories of child giftedness and the methods for its investigation, and hence allow them to become more sensitive and alert researchers and diagnosticians.
