Résumé
The present study examined the visual perception and attention abilities associated with general giftedness (G) and excellence in mathematics (EM). The research involved four groups of 16–18 years old participants varying in levels of G and EM. 190 participants were tested on a battery of visual processing tasks: visual-spatial memory (VSM), visual speed of information processing (SVIP),Visual-perception (VP) and Visual attention (VA). The results support the notion that the differences between the groups are task depended. On the VSM (Backward visual-spatial memory span) test, differences in performance were associated only with EM factor, while on the visual-perception (Pattern-recognition test) and attention (D2-CP score) tests only the G factor had a main performance effect. SVIP was associated with both G and EM factors.
