I quickly found a powerpoint by him [1]. Looks like cool stuff. Prof. Smith appears to be looking for the internal mental structures that drive creativity. This is important to know. My sort of research builds on this level, and looks at how self-efficacy can make it more likely to use these structures to become creative.

Next summer, I'll probably teach the same cognitive course. Have you read any of Steve Smith's work? He's here at TAMU and has a few nice creativity studies. Probably would be easy to use a design like his only administer your scale prior to asking them to create animals/toys or complete the Remote Associates Test (RAT). Check out Smith, Ward, and Schumacher (1993) in Memory & Cognition. p.s. Nice work on the 5GW book. I read the chapter you sent (on complicity...). Will we see the book on shelves?

How could that be validated?... I wonder if one could measure the creative self-efficacy for the class you are teaching, with a domain-specific scale… How could that be validated?…

Got any ideas? If you're as excited about statistics as I think you are, consider me in! Research Partners eh? Got any ideas?

Both that you view it, and you don't feel its crazy enough to force you to use Chrome's anonymous browsing! :-) One reason I keep this blog is that the medium affords more direct, intellectual exchange than even a university. If you keep calling people out, you're going to find potential research partners are rather skiddish ;-) I responded to the comment that prompted my subscription [1], btw.
