Semantic distance predicted divergent thinking total scores after controlling for both RAPM accuracy and WAIS total DQ scores: cued (ß =.33, p <.001), but not uncued (ß =.05, p =.46).
He controls the pitching game and the running game, and is asked to know the strengths, shortcomings and needs of each pitcher, and also memorize each opposing hitter, evaluate his swings and predict his thinking.
We further tested whether we could predict creative thinking ability in three new samples of participants whose brain data were not used in building the network model.
However, uncued semantic distance values did not significantly predict divergent thinking performance for any of these dimensions (ps >.21).
Of the four analogy subscales, the traditional analogical-verbal section was most capable of predicting analytical thinking, creative thinking, and academic achievements.
"Somewhere down the road," Mr. Dortch predicted, "forward thinking start-ups might build into their business plans classes of equity specifically for independent contractors".
Cued semantic distance values also significantly predicted divergent thinking performance for each dimension: flexibility (ß =.41, p <.001), fluency (ß =.44, p <.001), and originality (ß =.47, p <.001).
Consider a recent study by psychologists at Curtin University of Technology in Australia, who found that the level of "all or nothing" thinking predicted how well perfectionists navigated their lives.
They would say exactly what he was thinking, predicting his thoughts.
You have to know what your opponent is thinking, predict what your opponent is going to do.
