Default and Executive Network Coupling Supports Creative Idea Production (2015, background): “, 40), a growing body of recent evidence points to a role of cognitive control mechanisms, such as working memory capacity (41, 42), fluid intelligence (43, 44), verbal fluency (45), and pre-potent response inhibition (46).”
Investigating the structure of semantic networks in low and high creative persons (2014, result): “This approach is in line with increasing literature which shows a tight link between executive functions and creative ability (Nusbaum and Silvia, 2011; Beaty and Silvia, 2012; Benedek et al., 2012a; Silvia et al., 2013).”
Structure and flexibility: Investigating the relation between the structure of the mental lexicon, fluid intelligence, and creative achievement. (2016, background): “However, other top-down functions have been related to creative ability, such as broad retrieval abilities and working-memory capacity (Avitia & Kaufman, 2014; Benedek et al., 2014; Silvia, 2015; Silvia et al., 2013).”
Intelligence and Creativity Are Pretty Similar After All (2015, background): “…studies have shown large effects of broad retrieval ability on divergent thinking (e.g., Benedek et al. 2012a, b; Lee and Therriault 2013) and unpacked the unique contributions of its lowerlevel facets, such as ideational fluency (Silvia et al. 2013) and encoding ability (Avitia and Kaufman 2014).”
The relation between semantic memory structure, associative abilities, and verbal and figural creativity (2020, methodology): “Fluid intelligence and broad retrieval ability We assessed fluid intelligence (Gf) and broad retrieval ability (Gr), two highly relevant intelligence facets in creativity research (Jauk et al., 2013; Silvia et al., 2013).”
Ready, Set, Create: What Instructing People to "Be Creative" Reveals About the Meaning and Mechanisms of Divergent Thinking (2014, result): “As in our other work with subjective scoring (e.g., Silvia et al., 2008; Silvia & Kimbrel, 2010; Silvia, Martin, & Nusbaum, 2009), all identifying information was removed before rating, including the serial position of a response, the participant who gave it, the total number of responses the…”
How semantic memory structure and intelligence contribute to creative thought: a network science approach (2017, background): “Regarding the DT test, an average number of six ideas and a low average subjective top-scoring rating are very common in this line of research (e.g., Jauk et al., 2014; Nusbaum & Silvia, 2011; Silvia et al., 2013).”
