The aim of this work is to analyze the influence of study field, expertise and recreational activities participation in Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT, 1974) performance. Several hypotheses were postulated to explore the possible effects of previous knowledge in TTCT verbal and TTCT figural university students’ outcomes. Participants in this study included 418 students from five study fields: Psychology; Philosophy and Literature, Music; Engineering; and Journalism and Advertising (Communication Sciences). Results found in this research seem to indicate that there in none influence of the study field, expertise and recreational activities participation in neither of the TTCT tests. Instead, the findings seem to suggest some kind of interaction between certain skills needed to succeed in specific studies fields and performance on creativity tests, such as the TTCT. These results imply that TTCT is a useful and valid instrument to measure creativity and that some cognitive process involved in innovative thinking can be promoted using different intervention programs in schools and universities regardless the students study field.

Doctors without any qualifying rank tend to have various components of creative reserve, such as imagination and curiosity. The interrelation between doctors’ creative ability level and certain creativity manifestations. The high creativity level among doctors without any rank is due to high level of creative thinking. For doctors of the second rank, it is connected with the high level of imagination, and for doctors of the highest rank, it is due to the high originality level. Proof has been obtained that creative thinking and active doctors do not complain about their patients, because they create a certain meaningful field, providing for productive mutual understanding. One criterion of a gifted doctor is the efficiency of his medical activity, which is closely connected to the clinical thinking as an efficient psychic process. Discovering the unknown, due to this cognitive process, gives birth to important professional and personality formations.

The Mind

Conceptual design is the most innovative stages in the life cycle of product development, and its process consists of a large number of cognitive activities. Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary research emerging science of nature and law of the mind and intelligence. In order to get the creative thinking effectively in the product innovation process, the cognitive science and creative thinking of thinking psychology and the inventive problem solving method which is based on the law of engineering and technical development must be organically combined, to stimulate the thinking of designers and achieve the product innovation design rapidly. A method based on the cognitive process to solve the innovation problem is presented in this paper. TRIZ and cognitive process are combined organically. The cognitive processes of TRIZ problem-solving are also described in this paper, and an instance of the beam extraction machine is given.

Das Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war die systematische Erfassung der Kreativitätsleistung bei 5- bis 14-jährigen Jungen mit Asperger Syndrom im Vergleich mit einer gesunden Kontrollgruppe (je n=24). Untersucht wurden sowohl quantitative Kreativitätsaspekte (Ideenflüssigkeit, Ideenflexibilität) als auch qualitative Kreativitätsaspekte (Originalität) bei zwei Altersgruppen (jüngere Kinder: 5 – 9 Jahre, ältere Kinder/Jugendliche: 10 – 14 Jahre). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass bei Kindern/Jugendlichen mit Asperger Syndrom primär die quantitativen Aspekte der Kreativität beeinträchtigt sind (Ideenflüssigkeit und -flexibilität bei gleichbleibenden Items aus dem 5-Punkte Test), während die Kreativitätsleistung bei den abwechslungsreicheren Bildergänzungsaufgaben des Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, bei denen die Qualität/Originalität im Vordergrund steht, unbeeinträchtigt ist. In unserer Stichproben waren die Alterseffekte signifikant (jüngere Kinder zeigten schlechtere Leistungen), aber über die Gruppen vergleichbar (d. h. die Interaktionseffekte waren nicht signifikant). Im Sinne einer ressourcenorientierten Diagnostik, die für eine maßgeschneiderte Interventionsplanung unerlässlich ist, sollten also zusätzlich zu den quantitativen auch die qualitativen Aspekte kreativer und exekutiver Denkleistungen erfasst werden.
