Abstract
Thls study was designed to lnvestigate differences in
divergent
production performance among students who were involved in a
brainstorming
sesslon r,rhlle ineubatlng and subJects who only incubated. Effeets of
the
treatments !'Iere assessed by subJect6f responses on a written problem
solving
inventory.
Anal-ysls of variance indicated that the performance of subjects
who
rrrere tralned in dlvergent productior, i.e., brainsLorming, was
greater
thal that of subjects who were not tralned ln divergent production.
The
incubation treatment, however, dld not seem to influence
subjectsr
divergent production scores
significantly.
New directions are proposed to study effects of various
attributes
of incubatlon as compared with certain
attrlbutes of creativity.
