Connection between Creativity and Asymmetry of the Visual Sensory Input among Pupils
The article analyzes the connection between creativity and combinations of different asymmetries among pupils of primary and secondary school. 80 subjects of both sexes were divided into the groups with different combinations of functional asymmetries and indexes defining creativeness on the basis of Torrance test. 7-9 years old children with a preference to the leading left eye have a higher originality of thinking comparing to the children with a preference to the leading right eye. Originality predetermines creation of new ideas. At the age of 10-12 years children with the leading left eye tower above their peers according to the indexes of the flexibility of thinking. There were no connections found between motor asymmetry and creativeness, it is probably due to the social and cultural pressure of the right-handed environment.
