Abstract

Creativity is the result of several converging elements, including cultural, environmental, and social factors. The context in which people live their lives not only affects their creativity; it also affects how they acquire and use language. This study shows how a person's context and linguistic development, as measured by linguistic maturity, affects their creativity. 249 students aged between 13 and 15, participated in the study by completing an online test measuring their linguistic maturity and creativity. This study used Guilford's (1967) Alternative Uses Test following the Consensual Assessment Technique. Regression models revealed a positive and significant influences of linguistic maturity on creativity. Greater semantic memory networks allow for more efficient searches, thus enabling creativity. Therefore, greater semantic richness leads to greater linguistic maturity, resulting in increased creativity. Our findings confirm a relationship between language skills and creativity (i.e., linguistic maturity and text production) at a deeper level than previously studied. This is relevant for both curriculum development and instructional design. In this sense, tools as ChatGPT that produce text from millions of documents, push the student to be mediator of all this linguistic richness. Furthermore, measuring linguistic maturity and text production provides another means to measure creativity, transcendent, considering that having proper approaches to measure creativity is a challenge.

以语言成熟度和文本制作来衡量创造力与语言之间的关系
创造力是多种因素共同作用的结果,其中包括文化、环境和社会因素。人们的生活环境不仅会影响他们的创造力,还会影响他们获取和使用语言的方式。本研究显示了一个人的生活环境和语言发展(以语言成熟度为衡量标准)对其创造力的影响。249 名年龄在 13 至 15 岁之间的学生参与了这项研究,他们完成了一项在线测试,以测量他们的语言成熟度和创造力。这项研究采用了 Guilford(1967 年)的 "替代用途测试",并采用了 "共识评估技术"。回归模型显示,语言成熟度对创造力有积极而显著的影响。语义记忆网络越大,搜索效率越高,创造力也就越强。因此,语义越丰富,语言成熟度越高,创造力也就越强。我们的研究结果证实,语言技能与创造力(即语言成熟度与文本制作)之间存在着比以往研究更深层次的关系。这对课程开发和教学设计都具有重要意义。从这个意义上说,像 ChatGPT 这样从数百万文档中生成文本的工具,促使学生成为所有这些丰富语言的中介。此外,考虑到采用适当的方法来衡量创造力是一项挑战,衡量语言成熟度和文本制作提供了另一种衡量创造力的超越性方法。
