Salvi, Carola; Costantini, Giulio; Pace, Adriana; Palmiero, Massimiliano – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2020
The scientific approach to the study of creative problem-solving has shifted from using classic insight problems (e.g., the "Nine-dots" problem), toward sets of problems that have more robust psychometric properties, such as the Remote Associate Test (RAT). Because it is homogeneous, compact, quickly solvable, and easy to score, the RAT…

Shechter, Taly; Eden, Sigal; Spektor-Levy, Ornit – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2021
The objective of this study was to examine in what ways and to what extent preschoolers (5-6 years of age) manifest early Engineering Habits of Mind (EHoM) while engaging in an open-ended problem-solving construction task. The study comprised 228 children (120 boys and 108 girls). The study implemented a quantitative approach. The main research…

Jaarsveld, Saskia; Lachmann, Thomas; van Leeuwen, Cees – Intelligence, 2012
We recently proposed the Creative Reasoning Test (CRT), a test for reasoning in ill-defined problem spaces. The test asks children who first performed the Standard Progressive Matrices test (SPM) to next generate an SPM-style test item themselves. The item is scored based on different aspects of its complexity. Here we introduce a method to…
