I enjoyed writing this article with Mathias Benedek, where we imagine the future of creativity testing, building on PISA's 2022 Creative Thinking assessment. We're hoping to turn these ideas into reality in the coming year. https://t.co/n0WOJeCwQB

The PISA assessment 2022 of creative thinking was a moonshot effort that introduced significant advancements over existing creativity tests, including a broad range of domains (written, visual,...

New work from our lab: generating new creativity tests using large language models: 1. AI "test generator" creates candidate test items 2. AI "test takers" solve them 3. AI "scorers" rate solutions for originality 4. Best items selected for creativity tests
Check out our new paper “The creative psychometric item generator: a framework for item generation and validation using large language models” on arXiv: https://t.co/lV7Vm4oY4k

New longitudinal study with @Simone_Luchini & @yoed_kenett finds that students who learn more effectively develop more interconnected semantic memory networks, with shorter paths between related concepts. This efficient knowledge structure may facilitate successful learning.
Check out our recent paper in @JIntell_MDPI! Across two studies, we find that successful learners possess more small-worlded semantic memory networks, both domain-specific (psychology concepts) and domain-general (animal concepts). https://t.co/eoQsQDsIts

Study by @SelinaWeiss14 & @BenjaminGoecke found the ability to generate lots of ideas (fluency) has little relation to generating original ideas, controlling for intelligence. This raises questions about the validity of fluency in creativity assessment. https://t.co/BsqXSxsxBS
