摘要
We hypothesized that differential focusing of attention mediates the relationship between creative thinking and amount and accuracy of information processing. Supporting our predictions, we found that the greater a person's creative thinking the information processing was more accurate but its amount did not change on a task not involving interference (a focused attention), but the information processing was less accurate and its amount augmented on a task requiring interfering information (a defocused attention). Our results support both the theory of creativity of Martindale and Eysenck but regarding to different measures.
