Pilot study data indicating no practice effects.
Means with standard deviations in parenthesis for each outcome measure, and p-values for comparisons between matrices. No significant differences were found for any of the outcome measures between the counterbalanced first and second matrices when both matrices were performed with the creativity cue (Cued condition) or when both matrices were performed without the creativity cue (Uncued condition), indicating no practice effects.
Fig 1.
Effect of an explicit creativity cue on semantic distance in analogical reasoning.
Total semantic distance of analogies formed in the Analogy Finding Task matrices before and after the creativity cue. The cue elicited the formation of substantially more creative (semantically distant) analogies. Error bars represent one standard error of the mean.
