About the Book

Recent research findings have challenged the idea that creativity is domain-general.  Domain Specificity of Creativity brings together the research information on domain specificity in creativity -- both the research that supports it and answers to research arguments that might seem to challenge it.  The implications for domain specificity affect how we move forward with theories of creativity, testing for creativity, and teaching for creativity.  The book outlines what these changes are and how creativity research and applications of that research will change in light of these new findings.

Table of Contents:
1. Domain Specificity: Introduction and Overview2. Research Evidence for Domain Specificity3. Implications of Domain Specificity for Creativity Theory4. Implications of Domain Specificity for Creativity Research5. Implications Of Domain Specificity for Creativity Assessment6. Implications of Domain Specificity for Creativity Training7. Finding Common Ground: The APT Model of Creativity and Metatheoretical Approaches to Understanding Creativity
