In recent literature featuring theory, research, and practice in the field known as gifted education the terms gifted and talented are often used as if they had precisely the same meaning. In some cases, there is simply an implicit acceptance of the synonymous nature of the terms or at least a parallel meaning. In others, it is explicitly stated that the terms will be used interchangeably.
