我们研究了整个青春期创造性认知的发展轨迹。参与者（N = 98）被分为四个年龄组（12/13岁、15/16岁、18/19岁和25-30岁），他们接受了一系列测试创造性洞察力（视觉；言语）和发散性思维（言语；视觉空间）的任务。两个年龄较大的小组在洞察力任务上的表现优于两个年龄较小的小组。在语言发散思维的原创性测试中，25-30岁的人的表现优于两个最年轻的年龄组。语言发散性思维的流畅性和灵活性没有观察到年龄组差异。然而，在视觉空间领域的发散思维上，只有15/16岁的孩子表现优于12/13岁的孩子；15/16岁的模特表现最佳。不同的创造力过程的结果讨论了相关的认知和相关的神经生物学模型。我们得出结论，青春期中期不仅是一个不成熟的时期，也是一个在视觉空间领域具有创造潜力的时期，可能与发展控制功能和探索行为有关。
We examined developmental trajectories of creative cognition across adolescence. Participants (N = 98), divided into four age groups (12/13 yrs, 15/16 yrs, 18/19 yrs, and 25-30 yrs), were subjected to a battery of tasks gauging creative insight (visual; verbal) and divergent thinking (verbal; visuo-spatial). The two older age groups outperformed the two younger age groups on insight tasks. The 25-30-year-olds outperformed the two youngest age groups on the originality measure of verbal divergent thinking. No age-group differences were observed for verbal divergent thinking fluency and flexibility. On divergent thinking in the visuo-spatial domain, however, only 15/16-year-olds outperformed 12/13-year-olds; a model with peak performance for 15/16-years-old showed the best fit. The results for the different creativity processes are discussed in relation to cognitive and related neurobiological models. We conclude that mid-adolescence is a period of not only immaturities but also of creative potentials in the visuo-spatial domain, possibly related to developing control functions and explorative behavior.
