Subclaims¶

q3 i? The ANOVA for fluency returned no significant main or interaction effects. → van Dijk 2020

Evidence¶

van Dijk 2020¶

van Dijk, M., Blom, E., Kroesbergen, E. H., & Leseman, P. P. M. (2020). The Influence of Situational Cues on Children’s Creativity in an Alternative Uses Task and the Moderating Effect of Selective Attention. Journal of Intelligence, 8(4), 37. https://doi.org/10.3390/jintelligence8040037

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Univariate ANOVA on untransformed fluency scores in the same experiment; no effect size is printed, so no magnitude is claimed. The authors note this absence of a relationship "replicates the findings of Zabelina and Robinson (2010)".

"The ANOVA for fluency and the ANOVA for originality did not return any significant main or interaction effect."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Children produced more original alternative uses (net of fluency and flexibility) in a low stimulus environment than in a high stimulus environment
• The multivariate effect of stimulus condition and selective attention on the combined creativity measures showed a significant condition × selective attention interaction
• Selective attention moderated the effect of stimulus condition on children’s originality: better selective attention favoured the low stimulus environment, weaker selective attention the high stimulus environment
• Children with better selective attention were more flexible (used more different conceptual categories) in the Alternative Uses Task
