What is it about?

In the Creative Functioning Test, a participant is exposed to a series of briefly presented pictures leading to veridical perception (the straight series). This series is then reversed, allowing the participant to relinquish veridical perception and to reconsider his or her interpretation of the input. While this reversed series enables an assessment of creativity, the straight series enables an assessment of impulsivity. The goal of this article was to present the potential of using such a microgenetic technique to investigate both creativity and impulsivity.

Perspectives

Shachar's MA with me provided the data for this paper, which presents a microgenetic technique for assessing both creativity and impulsivity in the lab. I have returned to this topic over the years, each time with increasing depth of analysis.
