Read the book, but could not find this answer.
Creative thinking in children is like creative thinking in adults in that they both:
a. have experiences that are complex, challenging, and creative.
b. have intelligence that develops into skill.
c. lack inhibition when responding to external stimuli.
d. have preconceived ideas about what is acceptable.
I already told you that D is wrong. That leaves three choices. Thank about them. Which do you think is the best answer?
Be sure to look up any words you're not sure you understand.
Maybe a
Yes, definitely A.
To find the answer to this question, you can approach it by analyzing each statement individually and comparing it to what you know about creative thinking in children and adults.
a. Both children and adults have experiences that are complex, challenging, and creative.
Children are exposed to new and diverse experiences as they grow, which can help stimulate their creativity. Similarly, adults also have experiences that shape their creative thinking. Thus, statement a seems to be a valid similarity between creative thinking in children and adults.
b. Both children and adults have intelligence that develops into skill.
It is known that intelligence can be developed and converted into skills over time. Children can develop their creative thinking abilities as they grow older, just like adults. Hence, statement b can also be considered as a similarity between creative thinking in children and adults.
c. Both children and adults lack inhibition when responding to external stimuli.
This statement is not entirely accurate. While it is true that children may be more uninhibited when expressing their creativity due to their limited judgment and social conditioning, adults may have developed inhibitions over time that can hinder their creative expression. Therefore, statement c does not hold true.
d. Both children and adults have preconceived ideas about what is acceptable.
Both children and adults can have preconceived notions or ideas about what is considered acceptable or appropriate in various settings. While these ideas may differ in complexity and range, it is true that both children and adults can hold such preconceived notions. As a result, statement d can also be considered as a similarity between creative thinking in children and adults.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is a. have experiences that are complex, challenging, and creative, and d. have preconceived ideas about what is acceptable.
