Age-related differences in cognitive processes were used to understand agerelated declines in creativity. According to the Geneplore model (Finke, Ward, & Smith, 1992), there are two phases of creativity — generating an idea and exploring the implications of the idea — each with different underlying cognitive processes. These two phases are measured in the Creative Invention Task (CIT; Finke, 1...

There is an ongoing debate about the components and processes of creativity. Within the subfield of creative insight, which is often considered to be the first measurable part of creativity, the role of working memory is discussed. Since creative insight appears to happen without conscious planning, the involvement of working memory appears to be limited; a hypothesis supported by several studi...

Applying the idea of “intelligent testing” (Kaufman, 1979, 1994) to creativity assessment could broaden our understanding of creativity assessment and would be in accord with the vision of E. Paul Torrance. Such intelligent creativity testing would not seek a single creativity score. Testers would consider patterns of scores in different domains and interpret them for comparative strengths and ...

The role of prefrontal cortex (PFC) in influencing creative thinking has been investigated by many researchers who, while succeeding in proving an effective involvement of PFC, reported suggestive but sometimes conflicting results. In order to better understand the relationships between creative thinking and brain activation in a more specific area of the PFC, we explored the role of dorsolater...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychomotor development and visual creativity. Thirty students ranging in age from 6 7.5 years had participated study. For measurement development, Degree Kinetic Performance used application a Set four kinetic tests K.T.K. test (Schillinh & Kiphard, 1974). To measure artistic creativity, three were administered which com...

This paper presents the results of an experiment comparing mouse, penand touch-inputs in computerized figural creativity test. The results show no statistically significant differences in creativity scores obtained by participants using mentioned devices as computer input methods. The results indicate that creativity testing can be introduced to a variety of modern computer devices with insigni...

Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate the entrepreneurial traits of school children in the city of Tehran. Methods: For this purpose, 48 students were selected with an average IQ between 90 and 119. Ranging from 7th to 12th grades, all the subjects were assessed using Nowicki-Strickland’s Locus of Control Scale (N-SLCS), Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT), and Hyperki...

In this reply, the authors examine the madness to their method in light of the comments. Overall, the authors agree broadly with the comments; many of the issues will be settled only by future research. The authors disagree, though, that past research has proven past scoring methods—including the Torrance methods—to he satisfactory or satisfying. The authors conclude by offering their own criti...

Digital technology plays a unique role in the cultivation of students’ creative thinking, which helps them solve poorly structured problems with effective and original solutions. This study applied collaborative learning digital-technology-supported artificial intelligence (AI) course aimed to explore impact on fourth-grade thinking. According whether leadership was assigned by teacher final co...

Although we have experienced great advances in scientific and technological knowledge over the decades, research suggests that pace of innovation is slowing down. Creativity “the process having original ideas value,” yet a recent article surveying decades worth data patents reports innovative papers science technology are becoming less disruptive time. Since 1990, children compelling losses sco...
