    "this article uses the empirical data drawn
    from the research project Making the

  • Experiment 2: Verbal Improvisation

    The second experiment for testing divergent thinking except with acting and speech.The breakdown and results can be found on pages 132 through 134. This paper seems to have the more scientific approach like Chemi's article.
