摘要: Average creativity scores for each of 20 Ss in this experiment correlated .49 with a measure heart-rate variability monitored during an inkblot task. It was suggested that cardiac may be greater the more creative because they shift from realistic to imaginal modes thinking than do relatively less Ss.
