What Can Children's Creative Writing Tell Us about Their Cognitive Development?

Presbury, Jack H.; And Others

Journal of Creative Behavior, v25 n3 p244-49 1991

This research attempted to identify categories of cognitive development existing in creative writing samples (written by over 5000 gifted children ages 9-18) that provide a basis for developmental analysis. Four categories with three levels of development in each were identified: (1) self, (2) others, (3) problem solving, and (4) abstractness of context. (DB)
