The Genetic Studies of Genius, later known as the Terman Study of the Gifted,[1] is currently[update] the oldest and longest-running longitudinal study in the field of psychology. It was begun by Lewis Terman at Stanford University in 1921 to examine the development and characteristics of gifted children into adulthood.[1]:āxiā[2]
The results from the study have been published in five books,[3][4][5][6][1] a monograph,[7] and dozens of articles. A related retrospective study of eminent men in history by Catharine Cox, though not part of the longitudinal study, was published as part of the Genetic Studies of Genius.[8] It further inspired the ongoing Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth longitudinal study.
