Pretest to posttest progression for adults and adolescents on the creative ideation measure of the combined Alternative Uses/Ordinary Characteristics task: (A) originality (1 = “not original” to 5 = “highly original”) and (B) fluency (number of alternative uses listed). In general participants improved in AU originality from pretest to posttest. Adults had higher mean originality scores than adolescents; however, adolescents showed greater gains from pretest to posttest than adults in AU originality. Participants generally had higher mean AU fluency scores on the posttest compared to pretest; however, no age group or training condition differences were found. ^* p < 0.05.
