Abdulla Alabbasib, Mark A. Analysis controlling the response order found that originality was higher with a longer latency.

The results are interpreted in terms of associational processes and executive functions. Detail and elegance of the ideas show the level of elaboration. The most statistically infrequent ideas are considered the original ones. This article focuses on originality.

DT tests are useful for creativity research because they are operational and allow the testing of hypotheses. All rights reserved. Thinking Skills and Creativity 33 S. Acar, et al. Analyzing DT in terms of time spent on ideas has been a fertile area of research, as well. Time is an important part of the process of DT and is objective.

He found more original ideas in the last phase of ideation. According to Mednick, most people generate many ideas early in the DT session and run out of ideas quickly, whereas creative individuals are capable of producing ideas over an extended period of time.

In other words, rate of ideational productivity is negatively related with time. They investigated three outcomes from DT in terms of temporal order: remoteness, uncommonness, and cleverness. They expected an upward trend in each of these across time — higher remoteness, uncommonness, and cleverness — in late ideas than early ideas.

Since Christensen's et al. Similarly, Wang et al. Not surprisingly, shifting function explained why originality increases over time i. Participants verbalized their ideas rather than writing the responses on a piece of paper, and what they said was recorded, transcribed, and coded.

This method allowed tracking the time at which ideas were generated. Acar and Runco calculated latency i. They expected that latency would be higher when participants switch from one category to another because of the need to make remote associations and the greater involvement of executive functions while switching.

Acar and Runco found that category switch takes 5 s more than the instances at which participants stayed within the same category. When response order was added into the model, Acar et al.

Participants used more time later than earlier in DT. Moreover, the latency required for category switch was not equal throughout the DT session. Acar et al. Does latency between adjacent responses also predict originality? There are several reasons to hypothesize that latency would predict originality. Such processes are likely to enhance the quality and originality of the ideas. Christensen's et al. As people make more remote associations, the probability of making a common connection would diminish.

This perspective is particularly relevant to the present study because originality was operationalized on the basis of semantic distance see Method, below. A third reason for the current hypothesis is that initial ideas take less time Acar et al. As people rely 2 Thinking Skills and Creativity 33 S. Reliability was higher in semantics-based originality than the traditional method. In this method, higher originality refers to the greater distance of the words and concepts within the responses provided by an individual.

The average of the distance across 12 networks was adjusted by occurrence frequency to reward those ideas that are less likely to be used with the words in DT prompt. The similarity between the DT prompt and responses is high when responses to DT include closely related concepts to the DT prompt.

In this case, similarity is higher and originality is lower compared to the case in which unrelated concepts are used. LSA uses external criteria i. Our method builds on and extends the LSA approach in that it obtains semantic similarity scores through multiple corpora such as Wikipedia.

Therefore, the SBA approach integrates the external and internal corpora i. The most important advantage of this alternative approach is that it is more convenient.

In short, scoring is automated. As a result, scoring is objective; it does not involve human judgment. They found good evidence of reliability and validity. Recently, Hass and Beaty tested the relationship between latency and the similarity of adjacent responses in DT, which were determined through subjective ratings.

They found a negative relationship between the similarity of the adjacent responses and latency. Latency was shorter between similar responses. Hass a, b found no relationship between latency and global similarity i. The present study looks into the relationship between latency and originality, which is operationalized as semantic distance lack of similarity between DT prompt and the responses.

The present study investigated these same questions but used the SBA scoring method 2. Method 2. Participants Data were collected from a sample of graduate and undergraduate bilingual Bahraini students who were studying in the United States of America. In the link there is a consent form, which includes information about the study. All participants were asked for their consent to participate. Among the participants who accepted to involve in this study, 86 preferred to respond in English. The 31 participants who decided to respond in Arabic were dropped from the data because the SBA method is currently not available in Arabic.

This practice is consistent with previous research e. The average time the participants spent on DT tasks was The mean age was The majority reported 3 Thinking Skills and Creativity 33 S.

Finally, 3 3. Eight majors were represented as follows: 23 Regarding previous exposure to creativity, 63 Often there are alternative uses for the same objects. For example, a newspaper could be used as a hat or a blanket, and many other things. For the following items, list as many alternative uses as you can. The more uses you think of, the better.

Do not worry about spelling. What do you see? This is NOT a test. Think of this as a game and have fun with it! The more ideas you list, the better. The DT tests were presented to a sample of Arab students who were given the option to choose the language they feel comfortable to complete the tasks.

All of the study tasks including latency data were collected by the online survey. For accuracy, time was calculated in seconds and milliseconds. Data analysis The present study followed the statistical model used in Acar and Runco for the verbal DT.

They used a three-level multilevel model, in which latency was the dependent variable and category switch was a predictor at Level 1. This model is appropriate for the present data because analyses are conducted at the response level, which are nested in DT tasks because DT tasks allow multiple responses.

Likewise, DT tasks are also nested in individuals because each individual responds to multiple DT tasks. Therefore, there were two-levels: responses Level 1 and participants Level 2. In the present study, originality was used as the dependent variable and latency was the predictor. In order to explain variation in Yijk i. Level 1 represents responses and Level 2 represents study participants. Results The following analyses used same statistical model as Acar and Runco In both analyses, there were three predictors: Character count of the responses, response order, and latency were predictors at Level 1.

There was no Level 2 or Level 3 predictors. Analyses with verbal DT The analyses used ideas generated by 83 people. First, using outlier detection technique Tukey, , the cases with extreme latency i. Second, because originality had a non-normal distribution, values were converted to z-scores. Unconditional model Model 1 that had no predictors was presented in Table 1. Because Level 3 variance was 0, this three-level model allowed intraclass correlations ICC between Level 1 and Level 2, which was.

This value represents the correlation among the responses that were generated for the same DT item. Model building continued by adding predictors. Model parameters were estimated via maximum likelihood ML unless two nested models were compared. Total latency between two adjacent responses included time spent for typing a response.

To control for the time spent for typing, in Model 2, we added the number of characters in responses i. Then, following the guidelines by Snijders and Bosker , we explored if random slope of character count improves the model.

When added to Level 2 and Level 3, random slope of character count did not improve the model, thus, they were dropped from the model. The random slope for response order also improved the model and was retained in Model 4. The next model Model 5 included latency, which improved the model but its random slope did not.

Hence random slope was dropped from the model. The latency by sequence and sequence by character count interactions did not improve the model and were dropped.

Model 7 was the best model that had the fewest parameters Table 2. The novel explores the themes common to young adult fiction, such as adult authority and the transition from childhood to maturity, as well as such broader motifs as the place of violence and social structures within a post apocalyptic society.
