Creativity training improves creative thinking.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that creativity training improves creative thinking?

Unclear. Several peer-reviewed studies report that specific creativity training programs (Idea-Marathon, de Bono methods, a one-year program, translation training) improved creative thinking measures in particular groups, though one found only non-significant tendencies. All cover narrow populations and methods rather than the general claim.
