Ryan, Bruce A.; Winston, Andrew S.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n4 p651-56 Aug 1978
Creative drawings of three preschool girls were modified using reinforcement procedures. Adult judges gave higher ratings of creativity for drawings with increased form diversity but not for those with increased color diversity. The role of social validation in defining and encouraging creativity is discussed. (Author/BH)
