FYI - gifted kids do need some drill, some times.
Kristin I'm sure the lecuturer did say: More repetitions can actually cause GT kids to *mislearn or forget* the information! So more exposure to the same thing is not only *not better*, it can be *actively worse*!
However, I have heard from a source I trust, that this is an example of one researcher looking at data and drawing a conclusion that most people wouldn't, and lots and lots of people repeating the conclusion without looking at the data. I haven't seen it myself, but, I try not to repeat that particular one.
