Abstract
The frequently postulated connection between imagery and creative thinking abilities was examined. Three commonly used creativity tests and three measures of imagery (self-reported vividness of imagery, self-reported control of imagery and visual memory) were administered to a sample of high-IQ children (to maximize the independence of creative thinking from IQ). Results of various regression analyses suggest that creativity and imagery are related in high-IQ children, and that neither creativity nor imagery as measured are unitary constructs but rather that some types and aspects of each are related. Implications for theories of human imagery, creativity, and intelligence are discussed.
