| Abstract | Simonton (1983) suggested an 'inverted-U' relationship between creativity and formal education
that creativity could decrease with education. As formal education is vaguely defined, this study
aims to examine such curvilinear relationship between creativity and domain-specific knowledge.
Creativity is measured with an adapted version of Mednick's (1962) Remote Associates Test (RAT)
and 'information technology' is used as the domain for its relatively convenient measurement and 222
wide applications. Preliminary data from six participants reveal an obvious inverted-U curve for
the most difficult items in RAT than the easier items. Theoretical accounts provided for the
curvilinear relationship in the literature will be discussed. |
