- From the editors.Introduces the articles appearing in this issue of Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts. Of particular interest in this issue are the breadth and the rigor of the methodology that underlie the substantive and theoretical issues addressed in the work. The issue begins with an article from Dean Keith Simonton, who looks at the idea of what succes […]Smith, Jeffrey K.; Smith, Lisa F.; Kaufman, James C.
- Cinematic success, aesthetics, and economics: An exploratory recursive model.Although the reputation of creative artists is based largely on the merit of their work, the latter can sometimes be assessed in several different ways that may not necessarily agree. This lack of evaluative consensus is perhaps most apparent in cinematic success; this can be judged by film critics (initial and final), movie awards (picture, dramatic, visual […]Simonton, Dean Keith
- Is creativity domain-specific? Latent class models of creative accomplishments and creative self-descriptions.Is creativity domain-specific? The authors describe the value of latent class analysis for appraising domain generality, and the authors report two studies that explore the latent class structure of creative accomplishments (using Carson, Peterson, and Higgins’s Creative Achievement Questionnaire; n = 749) and creative self-descriptions (using Kaufman and Ba […]Silvia, Paul J.; Kaufman, James C.; Pretz, Jean E.
- Personality, self-estimated intelligence, and uses of music: A Spanish replication and extension using structural equation modeling.This study replicates and extends a recent study on personality, intelligence and uses of music [Chamorro-Premuzic, T., & Furnham, A. (2007). Personality and music: Can traits explain how people use music in everyday life? British Journal of Psychology, 98, 175–185] using Spanish participants and structural equation modeling. Data from 245 university stu […]Chamorro-Premuzic, Tomas; Gomà-i-Freixanet, Montserrat; Furnham, Adrian; Muro, Anna
- Pupillary responses in art appreciation: Effects of aesthetic emotions.The authors examined effects of aesthetic emotions in art appreciation. Subjects were presented three groups of slides of cubistic paintings that differed in their processing fluency. In an explicit classification procedure, subjects were asked to indicate by button press the moment when they recognized any depicted object in the painting. The time to recogn […]Kuchinke, Lars; Trapp, Sabrina; Jacobs, Arthur M.; Leder, Helmut
- Preferences for ancient and modern art museums: Visitor experiences and personality characteristics.This research has two main purposes. The first is to replicate and possibly to extend the results obtained in a previous study, where the authors found that visitors to the ancient art museum conducted their visit with the primary aim of acquiring understanding and knowledge, while modern art museum visitors conducted their visit with an approach that was pr […]Mastandrea, Stefano; Bartoli, Gabriella; Bove, Giuseppe
- Using constraints to create novelty: A case study.The development of Richard Serra’s sculpture is presented as a case study using a constraint-based model of novelty (Stokes, 2005, 2007). The model was developed from two problem-solving precedents: Reitman’s (1965) idea that paired constraints direct and limit search in a problem space; and Simon’s (1973), that search can only lead to novel solutions if the […]Stokes, Patricia D.
- An experiential account of the psychology of art.In this article, the authors consider the potential contribution of the concept “lived experience” to the psychology of art. From the perspective of “lived experience,” the self is always already engaged and comes to every situation with personal interests and ideologies, and the art object is, among other things, understood as “speaking to” or addressing in […]Sullivan, Paul; McCarthy, John

- The prevalence of cortical gray matter atrophy may be overestimated in the healthy aging brain.Prevailing opinion holds that normal brain aging is characterized by substantial atrophy of cortical gray matter. However, this conclusion is based on earlier studies whose findings may be influenced by the inclusion of subjects with subclinical cognitive disorders like preclinical dementia. The present magnetic resonance imaging study tested this hypothesis […]Burgmans, Saartje; van Boxtel, Martin P. J.; Vuurman, Eric F. P. M.; Smeets, Floortje; Gronenschild, Ed H. B.

- A meta-analytic investigation of neurocognitive deficits in bipolar illness: Profile and effects of clinical state.A meta-analysis of neuropsychological studies of patients with bipolar disorder comprised of 42 studies of 1,197 patients in euthymia, 13 studies consisting of 314 patients in a manic/mixed phase of illness, and 5 studies of 96 patients in a depressed state. Cohen d values were calculated for each study as the mean difference between patient and control grou […]Kurtz, Matthew M.; Gerraty, Raphael T.
- Associations of postural knowledge and basic motor skill with dyspraxia in autism: Implication for abnormalities in distributed connectivity and motor learning.Children with autism often have difficulty performing skilled movements. Praxis performance requires basic motor skill, knowledge of representations of the movement (mediated by parietal regions), and transcoding of these representations into movement plans (mediated by premotor circuits). The goals of this study were (a) to determine whether dyspraxia in au […]Dowell, Lauren R.; Mahone, E. Mark; Mostofsky, Stewart H.
- Impairment of probabilistic reward-based learning in schizophrenia.Recent models assume that some symptoms of schizophrenia originate from defective reward processing mechanisms. Understanding the precise nature of reward-based learning impairments might thus make an important contribution to the understanding of schizophrenia and the development of treatment strategies. The present study investigated several features of pr […]Weiler, Julia A.; Bellebaum, Christian; Brüne, Martin; Juckel, Georg; Daum, Irene
- A longitudinal analysis of cognitive dysfunction, coping, and depression in multiple sclerosis.Using a longitudinal design, the authors examined coping and cognitive functioning in the development of depression in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Coping style was evaluated in 2 conceptually distinct roles: as moderator and mediator of the impact of cognitive dysfunction on depression. Using indices derived from the COPE (C. S. Carver, M. F. S […]Rabinowitz, Amanda R.; Arnett, Peter A.
- Semantic inhibition impairment in mild cognitive impairment: A distinctive feature of upcoming cognitive decline?This study aimed to measure semantic inhibitory capacities in persons with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI), in healthy older and younger adults. This was done by relying on a computerized adaptation of the Hayling task, designed to diminish the likelihood of using alternative noninhibitory strategies. Participants w […]Bélanger, Sara; Belleville, Sylvie
- Selectivity of executive function deficits in mild cognitive impairment.Impairment in executive cognition (EC) is now recognized as relatively common among older persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and may be predictive of the development of dementia. However, both MCI and executive functioning are broad and heterogeneous constructs. The present study sought to determine whether impairments in specific domains of EC are […]Brandt, Jason; Aretouli, Eleni; Neijstrom, Eleanor; Samek, Jaclyn; Manning, Kevin; Albert, Marilyn S.; Bandeen-Roche, Karen
- Frontotemporal dementia selectively impairs transitive reasoning about familiar spatial environments.Although patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are known to exhibit a wide range of cognitive and personality difficulties, some evidence suggests that there may be a degree of selectivity in their reasoning impairments. Based on a recent review of the neuroimaging literature on reasoning, the authors hypothesized that the presence or absence of famili […]Vartanian, Oshin; Goel, Vinod; Tierney, Michael; Huey, Edward D.; Grafman, Jordan
- Delaying interference enhances memory consolidation in amnesic patients.Some patients with amnesia are able to retain new information for much longer than expected when the time that follows new learning is devoid of further stimuli. Animal work shows that the absence or delaying of interference improves long-term memory consolidation. Our study suggests that this is also true for at least some patients with amnesia. Retention o […]Dewar, Michaela; Garcia, Yuriem Fernandez; Cowan, Nelson; Sala, Sergio Della
- Implicit false memory in the DRM paradigm: Effects of amnesia, encoding instructions, and encoding duration.Recent studies with the Deese/Roediger–McDermott (Deese 1959; Roediger & McDermott, 1995) paradigm have revealed that amnesic patients do not only show impaired veridical memory, but also diminished false memory for semantically related lure words. Due to the typically used explicit retrieval instructions, however, this finding may reflect problems at en […]Van Damme, Ilse; d’Ydewalle, Géry
