Abstract

REVIEWS WALLACH, MICHAEL A. and KOGAN, NATHAN, Modes of Thinking in Young Children. New York: Holt Rinehart & Winston, 1965. viii + 357 pp. $8.00. This fine volume continues the search for a variable that can dis­ tinctively be called "creativity," in contrast to intelligence. Like the earlier work of Guilford, Getzels and Jackson, Torrance, Barron and others it represents the quest for an alternative to G, the general factor in intelligence. The book's first chapter contains a critical review of past work in the field of creativity and its relationship to intelligence, with special refer­ ence to the work of Getzels and Jackson (1962). They criticize Getzels atid Jackson's failure to demonstrate that the construct which they called creativity is independent of intelligence and meaningfully consistent within itself. The aim of the research reported in this book is twofold. First, we wished to de­ termine whether solid evidence could be found that would support the validity of the distinction between intelligence and creativity as modes of cognitive activity. Second, if a distinction between these concepts could be given acceptable empirical support, we wished to investigate the possible psychological correlates of in­ dividual differences in creativity and intelligence when
