Autism-Linked Traits and Creativity
Several studies have investigated the relationship between autism-linked traits and creativity in adults across the general population, but far fewer in developmental populations. Here we examined how creativity in children is linked to the autism-linked traits of empathy (i.e. ability to understand and engage with another’s emotions and feelings) and sensory sensitivities (i.e. over/under-responding to incoming sensory stimuli). Our study collec…
Are Children with Autistic Traits More or Less Creative? Links between Autistic Traits and Creative Attributes in Children
Autistic traits are found throughout the general population, but their link to creative attributes has received little attention in childhood populations. In adults, autistic traits are linked to both creative benefits and disadvantages, moderated by the autistic trait and the creative domain under investigation. The current study investigates the link between autistic traits and creative attributes (creative personality traits, creative talent, …
Mental Health Difficulties in Children who Develop Misophonia
Misophonia is a sound sensitivity disorder characterized by unusually strong aversions to a specific class of sounds (e.g., eating sounds). Here we demonstrate the mental health profile in children who develop misophonia, examining depression, anxiety and ADHD. Our participants were members of the birth cohort ALSPAC (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children). We screened them for misophonia as adults, then analysed their retrospective men…
What Factors Influence Children's Creative Artistic Orientation? The Novel Children's Creative Orientation Test
Creative orientation is the extent to which different individuals are drawn toward creative activities (e.g., art, music). We know relatively little about child‐level creative orientation given certain testing limitations. Adult tools often measure time spent engaged in creative pursuits, but this method is unsuitable for children because their free time is often dictated by parents. To overcome this, we devised an entirely novel measure of creat…
Do the Colors of Educational Number Tools Improve Children’s Mathematics and Numerosity
This study examined how colored educational tools improve children’s numerosity (“number sense”) and/or mathematics. We tested children 6–10 years (n = 3,236) who had been exposed to colored numbers from the educational tools Numicon (Oxford University Press, 2018) or Numberjacks (Ellis, 2006), which map colors to magnitudes or Arabic numerals, respectively. In a free association task pairing numbers with colors, a subset of children spontaneousl…
