Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-12 (December 2015) . - p.4064-4073 Titre : The Relationship Between Subthreshold Autistic Traits, Ambiguous Figure Perception and Divergent Thinking Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Catherine BEST, Auteur ; Shruti ARORA, Auteur ; Fiona PORTER, Auteur ; Martin DOHERTY, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.4064-4073 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Ambiguous figures  Creativity  Autistic traits  Divergent thinking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This research investigates the paradox of creativity in autism. That is, whether people with subclinical autistic traits have cognitive styles conducive to creativity or whether they are disadvantaged by the implied cognitive and behavioural rigidity of the autism phenotype. The relationship between divergent thinking (a cognitive component of creativity), perception of ambiguous figures, and self-reported autistic traits was evaluated in 312 individuals in a non-clinical sample. High levels of autistic traits were significantly associated with lower fluency scores on the divergent thinking tasks. However autistic traits were associated with high numbers of unusual responses on the divergent thinking tasks. Generation of novel ideas is a prerequisite for creative problem solving and may be an adaptive advantage associated with autistic traits.
