Features of cognitive processes of persons with icarus complex in the perspective of studying the phenomenon of VIR-giftedness. Part 1
The article discusses the features of intelligence and thinking of persons with the Icarus complex. On the example of a student sample such indicators of the level of intellectual development, the cognitive stylistics inherent in this contingent and the characteristic features of thinking are investigated. It is postulated that persons with the Icarus complex are inherent in such features of cognitive functioning as a higher level of intelligence, more pronounced field-independence, reflexivity and flexibility of cognitive control, as well as such a specific property as polysemantism, which underlies their characteristic divergent thinking.
