• Understanding Fluency and Originality: A latent variable perspective (2014, background): “In the literature on creativity, divergent thinking tasks, which require participants to generate multiple original ideas, are perhaps the most widely used measure (Hudson, 1968; Lewis & Lovatt, 2013; Plucker & Makel, 2010).”
• Improvisation facilitates divergent thinking and creativity: Realizing a benefit of primary school arts education (2015, background): “Lewis and Lovatt (2013) suggest that verbal improvisation shares in common with everyday speech the use of general knowledge structures or schemas (Bartlett, 1932).”
