Hidden Talents-- references

I am a retired science teacher,now living in Uclueclet, British Columbia, Canada. I did this research around 1986 using university and clinical neuropsychology texts to find why students had such different talents. I plan to write a book on the topic with much more useful information about clues to talents in youth.

SOURCES I used most include:

Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology, Bryan Kolb and Ian Q. Whishaw -- W. H. Freeman, 1980
(A superb analysis and summary of what is known. Excellent detail showing experimental evidence of the roles of different parts of the brain -- A newer and bigger edition is available.)

(Clinical tests and symptoms of brain injuries in different parts of the brain)
