A Descriptive Study of the Creative and Social Behavior of Four Highly Original Young Children.

Johnson, Lynn; Hatch, J. Amos

Journal of Creative Behavior, v24 n3 p205-24 1990

The study of four highly original preschool children found that the children had high levels of inner imagination, extremely varied expressive creative behavior with each having a "specialty area" as a creative focus, and different levels of social competence. Results support D. Shmukler's model for organizing elements of creativity in preschool children. (JDD)
