First seen Sep 03, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are studying creative thinking in children aged 6 to 12 with neurodevelopmental disorders. They want to understand how these children think creatively and how that relates to their overall development. The study involves 212 children and uses various tasks to measure creativity and divergent thinking. The goal is to develop more inclusive ways to assess and support these children.

- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it will not test a treatment. The findings may not apply to all children with neurodevelopmental disorders, and the study is early-stage.
