Creative Problem Solving: A Comparison of Performance under Different Instructions.

Buyer, Linda S.

Journal of Creative Behavior, v22 n1 p55-61 Jan-Apr 1988

Tests of creative production given to 75 college students used three different types of instructions. The total number of superior responses was equal for brainstorming and criteria-cued instructions and greater than standard instructions. Criteria-cued instructions worked more efficiently, producing the largest number of creative responses for the smallest total response output. (VW)
