People, young and old, with exceptional abilities, be they gifted, talented or savant, often manifest overexcitabilities (OEs) – innate intensities, heightened sensitivity and response to stimuli – that can impact positively or negatively or both on the developmental potential of an individual. The term potential refers to the human behavior (i.e., behavioral potential) that can be expressed in terms of thoughts (Cognition), actions (Conation), feelings (Affect) and senses (Sensation), also known as CCAS model. This paper examines the concept of OEs which are stemmed from Kazimierz Dabrowski’s (b.1902-d.1980) theory of positive disintegration (also known as a theory of personality development, emotional development and moral development) within the CCAS framework, where the authors have attempted to show the association between the behavioral potentials (BPs) of CCAS and the concept of the five OEs. As a result, a new model emerges to provide us a better understanding how OEs can help to better understand as well as enhance the development of human potential via BPs.

Exploring and developing diverse potentials and abilities -2023 •
This article presents novel approaches to exploring and developing children’s diverse potentials and abilities. Traditionally, potential has been understood as an individual’s innate endowment, primarily pertaining to intelligence, facilitating achievement. However, new perspectives encompass a broader spectrum of factors, including psychosocial aspects. This article examines two concepts. The first one is the Theory of Positive Disintegration, which focuses on the personal, emotional, and moral development of individuals. According to this theory, a strong developmental potential and its content play a crucial role in the development of personality and abilities. Gifted individuals exhibit characteristics such as heightened intensity of experiences and sensations, as well as asynchronous development. Education should embrace the unique and individualized growth of gifted individuals, with the aim of facilitating their development towards higher values and a complete personality. The second concept under examination is the Talent Development Megamodel, which focuses on domain-specific abilities. Within this framework, distinct trajectories of talent development are delineated based on an individual’s domain-specific ability and potential associated with abilities and psychosocial skills. The objective of education within the Megamodel is to foster achievements and ultimately exceptional accomplishments among the gifted.
