Intelligence and Creativity Are Pretty Similar After All (2015, background): “Broad retrieval ability has effects on divergent thinking that are distinct from the effects of fluid and crystallized intelligence (Avitia and Kaufman 2014; Benedek et al. 2012a, b), thus illustrating the value of a differentiated CHC approach.”
The cognitive underpinnings of creative thought: A latent variable analysis exploring the roles of intelligence and working memory in three creative thinking processes (2013, methodology): “This ability to switch between response categories has been shown to predict better performance on divergent thinking tests (e.g., Benedek et al., 2012; Gilhooly et al., 2007; Nusbaum & Silvia, 2011).”
The relation between semantic memory structure, associative abilities, and verbal and figural creativity (2020, methodology): “Previous research has consistently suggested that creativity is facilitated by better associative abilities and emphasized the notion that associative processes underlie the production of creative ideas (Beaty et al., 2014; Benedek et al., 2012).”
Investigating the structure of semantic networks in low and high creative persons (2014, background): “Investigating the signiﬁcance of combination of remote associations, Benedek et al., recently demonstrated the importance of the RAT in predicting divergent thinking (the hallmark factor of creative ability) and intelligence (Benedek et al., 2012b).”
Assessing Associative Distance Among Ideas Elicited by Tests of Divergent Thinking (2014, background): “Benedek, Könen, and Neubauer (2012) investigated the processes underlying creative thinking by administering both divergent thinking and associative thinking tasks.”
Verbal fluency and creativity: General and specific contributions of broad retrieval ability (Gr) factors to divergent thinking (2013, background): “Benedek, Könen, and Neubauer (2012) administered four classes of tasks that measured different facets of associational ability: associational fluency (generating a series of words related to a concept), associative flexibility (generating a chain of associated words, in which each word links to the…”
