The formation of abilities represents a crucial aspect of the mental and personal development of children and adolescents. This study explores the role of individual-psychological characteristics in shaping successful activities and how abilities evolve across different age periods. It examines the division of abilities into general and specific types and analyzes their growth during early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence. The paper emphasizes the importance of sensitive periods, the influence of environmental and pedagogical factors, and the critical role of creative and critical thinking in the development of intellectual abilities. Drawing on key psychological theories and modern educational research, the article also discusses the uneven nature of mental development and the necessity of personalized approaches to fostering abilities in educational practice.
