Ep.18. Can Novices Learn to Judge Creativity Like Experts?

"Learning to judge creativity: The underlying mechanisms in creativity training for non-expert judges" by Martin Storme, Nils Myszkowski, Pinar Çelik, and Todd Lubart (2014) This research paper examines whether it is possible to train non-expert judges to evaluate creativity in a manner similar to expert judges. The authors conducted two studies involving a training module that provided participants with a definition of creativity, highlighting the key components of novelty, resolution, and elaboration, and offering feedback on their judgments. The studies found that the training module significantly improved the validity and reliability of creativity judgments by trained participants, particularly by improving their ability to accurately assess novelty and elaboration. However, the authors caution that while the training module was effective, it did not completely transform novices into experts, suggesting further research is needed to explore more efficient training strategies.
