A General Comment For Any And All Readers

The authors note that their studies employed only a small number of creative and associative tasks, which may have compromised the generalizability of their findings. Future studies should explore additional creative tasks to see if the findings replicate across other aspects of creative achievement.

“As a general comment for the reader, I’d like to emphasize that a single study is never enough to conclude anything,” Goulet-Pelletier added. “Results are sometimes reinterpreted in light of new theories. The aggregation and replication of effects is needed to ascertain their reliability.”
