The Remote Associates Test (RAT) is a word association retrieval task that consists of a series of problems, each with three seemingly unrelated prompt words. The subject is asked to produce a single word that is related to all three prompt words. In this paper, we provide support for a theory in which the RAT assesses a person's ability to…

Salvi, Carola; Costantini, Giulio; Pace, Adriana; Palmiero, Massimiliano – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2020
The scientific approach to the study of creative problem-solving has shifted from using classic insight problems (e.g., the "Nine-dots" problem), toward sets of problems that have more robust psychometric properties, such as the Remote Associate Test (RAT). Because it is homogeneous, compact, quickly solvable, and easy to score, the RAT…

Carlsson, Ingegerd; Davidson, Per; Ors, Marianne – Creativity Research Journal, 2019
The effect of napping versus wakefulness was studied on primed and repeated Remote Associate Tests (RATs) and on divergent creativity tests. The participants were 42 students from the USA, studying international courses at a Swedish university. The hypotheses for the RATs were (1), when the correct answers were primed before the nap, the RAT…

Shen, Wangbing; Hommel, Bernhard; Yuan, Yuan; Chang, Liu; Zhang, Wei – Creativity Research Journal, 2018
The relationship between risk-taking and creativity is critical to understanding social harmony and innovation. Although some studies have assessed the link between risk-taking and divergent thinking, the association between risk-taking and convergent thinking remains unclear. Two studies were conducted to systemically investigate whether…

Smith, Steven M.; Sifonis, Cynthia M.; Angello, Genna – Journal of Problem Solving, 2012
Does spreading activation from incidentally encountered hints cause incubation effects? We used Remote Associates Test (RAT) problems to examine effects of incidental clues on impasse resolution. When solution words were seen incidentally 3-sec before initially unsolved problems were retested, more problems were resolved (Experiment 1). When…

Items constructed like those of Mednick's Remote Associates Test (RAT) fall into distinct categories, which are shown to interact significantly with subjects and with subject groups determined on the basis of performance. Some doubts are cast on the validity of the RAT. A similar 16-item test is included. (Author/JKS)

The validity of a culture-specific modification/adaptation of the Remote Associates Test (RAT) made for Jamaica was examined with other measures of creativity in 11th grade students. Factor analysis showed the Jamaican RAT loading with the Circles Test on an apparent fluency factor of creativity. (Author/CM)

The Mini Rat (Remote Associates Test) was developed in response to the need for creativity measures with which one could study the consequences of elementary school teaching on the students' creative potential. It is an associative measure with 20 items in which children are asked to give verbal responses to word doublets in the form of third…

Ward, William C. – 1971
Fourth through sixth grade children were given two kinds of creativity measures--divergent measures in which the child named all the ideas he could that met a simple requirement, and convergent measures, adaptations of Mednick's Remote Associates Test, in which he attempted to find one word which was associatively related to each of three others.…
