Le terme «surdoué» est un néologisme employé pour la première fois en 1946 [...] pour désigner un enfant «qui possède des aptitudes supérieures qui dépassent nettement la moyenne des capacités des enfants de son âge». Si cette définition s'appliquait aux enfants au départ, on parle aussi d'adultes surdoués. 7, record 1, French, - surdou%C3%A9

S'il existe des enfants «précoces» qui perdent leur avance avec le temps, les enfants surdoués conservent leur spécificité pour devenir des adultes d'un genre un peu particulier : des adultes à haut potentiel. 8, record 1, French, - surdou%C3%A9
