As Children’s Freedom Has Declined, So Has Their Creativity

Very interesting article by Peter Gray over at Psychology Today about creativity, how it is measured through the Torrance test and how children are scoring in comparison to 20-30 years ago.

"...... all aspects of creativity have declined, but the biggest decline is in the measure called Creative Elaboration, which assesses the ability to take a particular idea and expand on it in an interesting and novel way."

Fascinating.
