Palmiero, Massimiliano; Nori, Raffaella; Piccardi, Laura; D'Amico, Simonetta – Creativity Research Journal, 2020
Divergent thinking involves the ability to find many different and new responses or solutions to open-ended problems.

However, research has not specifically addressed the extent to which divergent thinking is…

Chuderski, Adam; Jastrzebski, Jan – Creativity Research Journal, 2018
The literature on insight problems--problems that supposedly can only be solved by rejection of an initial faulty problem representation and sudden comprehension of another, nonobvious representation (restructuring)--suggests that the size of initial representations affects the very process of problem solving. Large initial representations impose…

Chuderski, Adam; Jastrzebski, Jan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
The "nothing-special" account of insight predicts positive correlations of insight problem solving and working memory capacity (WMC), whereas the "special-process" account expects no, or even negative, correlations. In the latter vein, DeCaro, Van Stockum Jr., and Wieth (2016) have recently reported weak negative WMC…

Dollinger, Stephen J.; Palaskonis, Dimitra G.; Pearson, Jodi L. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2004
This study used the recently revised Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and a variety of validated creativity measures to replicate a classic finding--that sensing-intuition predicts creativity--and to evaluate whether the other MBTI scales add to the prediction of creativity. 94 undergraduates completed the MBTI (form M self-scorable) and…
