Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that child prodigies and eminent adults often attribute their success to intense practice and expert coaching. They often spend more time practicing than their peers, and their parents or other mentors play a significant role in guiding their development. Emotional disturbance and decreased success as adults are not common among prodigies and eminent adults. In fact, many go on to have successful and fulfilling careers. There is no evidence to suggest that they require less practice than successful but less eminent individuals in their field.
