Investigating the structure of semantic networks in low and high creative persons (2014, background): “However, the authors found that the high creative persons differred from the low creative persons in associative ﬂuency and uncommonnes of associations, which are related to each other (Beaty and Silvia, 2012).”
Automating creativity assessment with SemDis: An open platform for computing semantic distance (2020, methodology): “” (Beaty & Silvia, 2013; Silvia & Beaty, 2012).”
Ready, Set, Create: What Instructing People to "Be Creative" Reveals About the Meaning and Mechanisms of Divergent Thinking (2014, methodology): “Since then, creativity research has for the most part adhered to associative models of creative thought (e.g., Runco, 2007) despite the surprisingly small amount of direct evidence that creativity works this way (see Benedek & Neubauer, 2013; Beaty & Silvia, 2012; Weisberg, 2006).”
Reasoned connections: A dual-process perspective on creative thought (2015, result): “In contrast, if lower cognitive ability and a less analytic cognitive style is associated with increased creativity, it would suggest a greater benefit of non-goal directed, potentially unconscious processing than would be predicted by some accounts of creativity (e.g., Beaty & Silvia, 2012).”
Improvisation facilitates divergent thinking and creativity: Realizing a benefit of primary school arts education (2015, background): “In addition, often when people complete a divergent thinking task, the responses become more original as the list goes on (Beaty & Silvia, 2012).”
Default and Executive Network Coupling Supports Creative Idea Production (2015, background): “Such executive functions are hypothesized to support creative thought by providing the attention control needed to manage complex search processes and inhibit salient but irrelevant conceptual knowledge (46-49).”
Convergent Thinking Moderates the Relationship between Divergent Thinking and Scientific Creativity (2019, background): “They need to evaluate the scheme to solve the problem, filter (Basadur, 1994; Cropley, 2006) and inhibit ideas that are more prominent but not original (Beaty & Silvia, 2012).”
Verbal fluency and creativity: General and specific contributions of broad retrieval ability (Gr) factors to divergent thinking (2013, result): “Moreover, many studies have found meaningful effectswith thesemethods (Benedek, Franz, et al., 2012; Silvia & Kimbrel, 2010; Silvia, Nusbaum, Berg, Martin, & O'Connor, 2009), including several studies on CHC abilities (Beaty & Silvia, 2012, 2013; Nusbaum & Silvia, 2011; Silvia & Beaty, 2012).”
The relation between semantic memory structure, associative abilities, and verbal and figural creativity (2020, background): “To control for confounding effects of intelligence on creativity tasks (Beaty & Silvia, 2012; Nusbaum & Silvia, 2011; Silvia et al., 2013), we also collected measures of fluid intelligence (Gf) and broad retrieval strategies (Gr).”
Does insight problem solving predict real-world creativity? (2014, background): “Such findings implicate a range of controlled processes in creative cognition, such as the ability to strategically search memory (Silvia, Beaty, & Nusbaum, 2013) and inhibit salient but unoriginal ideas (Beaty & Silvia, 2012).”
How semantic memory structure and intelligence contribute to creative thought: a network science approach (2017, background): “…importance of top-down cognitive control in the creative process, such as fluid intelligence, retrieval ability, and specific executive functions (Beaty & Silvia, 2012; Benedek & Neubauer, 2013; Benedek et al., 2014; Groborz & Neçka, 2003; Jauk, Benedek, & Neubauer, 2014; Lee & Therriault,…”
