Subclaims¶

q3 i3 AU-score correlated significantly with AUT-brick fluency (r = 0.54) and flexibility (r = 0.36) but not verbal fluency, while OC-score correlated with both fluency measures but not flexibility or originality. → Kleibeuker 2013

Kleibeuker 2013¶

Kleibeuker, S. W., Koolschijn, P. C. M. P., Jolles, D. D., De Dreu, C. K. W., and Crone, E. A. (2013). The neural coding of creative idea generation across adolescence and early adulthood. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 7:905. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2013.00905

q3 · i3 · associational · r1

Bivariate correlations between scanner task scores and out-of-scanner measures. AU-score correlated with AUT-brick fluency (r = 0.54, p < 0.001) and flexibility (r = 0.36, p = 0.02) but not verbal fluency (r = 0.26, p > 0.1); OC-score correlated with both fluency measures, supporting the conditions' differentiation.

"AU-score corre- lated significantly with AUT-brick fluency ( r = 0.54, p < 0.001) and AUT-brick flexibility ( r = 0.36, p = 0.02), and marginally with AUT-brick originality ( r = 0.30, p = 0.07), but not with verbal fluency ( r = 0.26, p > 0.1)"
