In the first decades of the twentieth century, educators, pedagogical experts, pedologists, and psychologists, together with some physicians, drew attention to the existence of children whose intelligence and talents exceeded the average. ; European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement no. 793654
