Quantity and Quality of Creative Thinking in Children and Adolescents

Abstract

MILGRAM, ROBERTA M.; MILGRAM, NORMAN A.; ROSENBLOOM, GABY; and RABKIN, LIAT. Quantity and Quality of Creative Thinking in Children and Adolescents. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1978, 49, 385-388. Quantity and quality of creative thinking on the Wallach and Kogan Creativity Battery were moderately related in both six-grade children (N = 97) and high school seniors (N = 145). These findings support the theoretical position that quantity is a necessary condition for the emergence of quality in creative thinking. Developmental differences favoring high school seniors on unusual, but not on popular, responses were interpreted as supporting a cognitive rather than a verbal learning approach to creative thinking.
