Gray et al. (2019) proposed a new construct to predict creativity, which they called forward flow, measured as the originality of chained word associations. Chained word associations, however, do not meet the requirements of a test of originality. The items ask for only 1 response when multiple responses are needed to assess originality, and the sequential responding means that the items are not independent as required for a test. Also, the originality of the associations is questionably calculated from the starting word instead of in relation to the preceding cue word. Probably because of these problems, scores on the new construct measured in this way show only weak correlations with scores on standard measures of creativity.

前向流——另一种解释：评论格雷等人。(2019)。

格雷等人。(2019) 提出了一种预测创造力的新结构，他们称之为前向流，以链接词关联的原创性来衡量。然而，连锁词联想不符合原创性测试的要求。当需要多个回答来评估原创性时，这些项目只要求 1 个回答，顺序回答意味着这些项目不像测试所要求的那样独立。此外，关联的原创性是从起始词而不是与前面的提示词相关的计算得出的。可能由于这些问题，以这种方式衡量的新构念的分数与创造力标准衡量标准的分数仅显示出微弱的相关性。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
