Originality and Repeated Presentation of Sound Stimuli in Intellectually Superior Adolescents

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of repeated presentation of sound stimuli on verbal originality. 104 gifted adolescents were administered Thinking Creatively with Sounds and Words. Analysis indicated significant increases in originality for presentations, sounds, words, and their interactions. Results suggest even those who are high in verbal originality can profit from a warm-up experience and that study of interactions of stimulus by presentation may be valuable.
