Creativity researchers have recently sought to standardize idea assessment via computational measures of semantic distance: the degree of conceptual dissimilarity between words. The relationship between semantic distance and creativity has traditionally been described using linear models, with the embedded assumption that as semantic distance…

Semantic fluency in first and second languages depends on lexical-semantic organisational mechanisms, such as clustering and switching (Bose et al., Int J Lang Commun Disord 52(3):334-345, 2017; Tomé Cornejo, Léxico disponible.

This study investigates how individual differences related to creative and verbal fluencies can be differentiated and modelled through the linguistic features that manifest in student writing. Using computational linguistics, we analyzed samples of intrapersonal writing to extract linguistic features that align to specific dimensions of language.…

Haiku and Senryu, two concise poetic genres, provide a unique lens to investigate how creativity is perceived under constraints of brevity. This study examines how readers' subjective experiences…
