PRIMARY OBJECTIVE The current study examined how creative divergent thinking (i.e., the ability to produce varied and original solutions to a problem) is impacted by moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). RESEARCH DESIGN Descriptive, observational. METHODS AND PROCEDURES We administered two tasks of divergent thinking, the Abbreviated Torrance Test for Adults (ATTA) and the Alternative Uses Test (AUT), as well as a battery of neuropsychological tests and psychosocial variables (assessing memory and learning, processing speed, set shifting and psychological distress), to 29 individuals with TBI and 20 demographically-matched healthy comparison participants. MAIN OUTCOMES AND RESULTS Individuals with TBI performed similarly to healthy individuals on both tests of creative thinking, although they were impaired on the neuropsychological tasks. Moreover, there was no significant correlation between performance on the ATTA and performance on neuropsychological tests, but within the TBI group AUT performance and memory were significantly and positively associated. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reveal that divergent thinking, as measured by the ATTA and AUT, might be spared following moderate-to-severe TBI. These findings further our understanding of the higher-level cognitive sequelae of TBI and suggest that divergent thinking might be leveraged during treatment planning.

创伤性脑损伤和创造性的发散思维。

主要目标 本研究检验了中度至重度创伤性脑损伤 (TBI) 如何影响创造性的发散性思维(即,对问题产生多样化和原创解决方案的能力)。研究设计 描述性的、观察性的。方转移和心理困扰),29 名 TBI 患者和 20 名人口统计匹配的健康比较参与者。主要结果和结果 TBI 个体在两项创造性思维测试中的表现与健康个体相似,尽管他们在神经心理学任务上受到了损害。此外,ATTA 的表现与神经心理学测试的表现之间没有显着的相关性,但在 TBI 组中,AUT 的表现和记忆力呈显着正相关。结论 我们的研究结果表明,由 ATTA 和 AUT 衡量的发散性思维可能在中度至重度 TBI 后幸免于难。这些发现进一步加深了我们对 TBI 更高层次认知后遗症的理解,并表明在治疗计划期间可能会利用发散思维。结论 我们的研究结果表明,由 ATTA 和 AUT 衡量的发散性思维可能在中度至重度 TBI 后幸免于难。这些发现进一步加深了我们对 TBI 更高层次认知后遗症的理解,并表明在治疗计划期间可能会利用发散思维。结论 我们的研究结果表明,由 ATTA 和 AUT 衡量的发散性思维可能在中度至重度 TBI 后幸免于难。这些发现进一步加深了我们对 TBI 更高层次认知后遗症的理解,并表明在治疗计划期间可能会利用发散思维。
