Abstract
Examined the relationship of creativity and intelligence to the use of mediation and associative processes. Creativity was measured by the Remote Associates Test and intelligence by the Vocabulary test of the WAIS. Intelligence was found to predict mediated but not nonmediated conceptualization or rote learning. Major effects of intelligence were found during the response-generation phase of conceptualization. No significant effect of creativity on conceptualization nor any interaction with intelligence was found. Results are contrary to predictions derived from Mednick's association theory and raise serious problems for an interpretation of creativity in terms of traditional associative and mediation processes.
