This research falls within the scope of Educational Psychology, with the purpose of contributing to a critical and interpretative reading of the plural lines of research around the Talent construct, through a systematic review of the literature. There are few studies that have followed the methodology of systematic literature review, particularly in Europe and, although it is not an innovative approach, this study was an effort to deepen discussions that are already being built, with the intention of producing new knowledge and signaling relationships between different variables that influence the promotion of Talent. The research focused on editorial lines indexed in data sources (e.g., Web of Science, ELSEVIER Scopus, Scielo, APA PsycNet, Pepsic, CAPES and b-on). Data analysis was conducted using the Roadmap model. To refine the results, the Mendeley Desktop bibliographic reference management software was used. For the analysis of qualitative data, the NVivo12 software was used, having considered 132 studies. The results suggest that the existence of an innate talent is not enough, since it should be worked on, in an adjusted way, aiming at its growth, signaling relationships between different variables that influence the promotion of Talent. There is, therefore, a concrete need to systematize the contributions of psychology and educational sciences to the study of Talent.
