The Effects of Task-Specific Divergent-Thinking Training.
Baer, John
Journal of Creative Behavior, v30 n3 p183-87 Third Quarter 1996
This study investigated what effect divergent-thinking training focusing on a single task would have on the creative performance of 79 seventh graders on a closely related task. Students received training in poetry-relevant, divergent-thinking skills. The training was found to have a significant impact on the students' creativity in writing poetry. (CR)
