Complex Spatial Skills: The Link Between Visualization and Creativity

摘要

To determine if there is a correlation between spatial skills and creativity in interior design students, participants took a visualization assessment and created 33 individual projects. A percentage score for spatial skills was calculated based on the number of correct answers on the visualization assessment. Eleven judges assessed the projects using subjective ratings on 3 dimensions of judgment (appropriateness, creativity, and novelty) based on the Consensual Technique for Creativity Assessment. Interjudge reliabilities exceeded the established criterion level on all three dimensions. Although Pearson product-moment correlation found no significant correlation between visualization and creativity, intercorrelations among the dimensions indicated a high degree of association between the variables, with appropriateness and novelty both significantly correlated with creative potential.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10400419.2010.503530
