An increasing body of research suggests that divergent thinking involves the top-down control of attention and cognition.
“An increasing body of research suggests that divergent thinking involves the top-down control of attention and cognition. Much of this evidence comes from latent variable studies showing effects of higher-order cognitive abilities, such as fluid intelligence (Beaty et al., 2014, Nusbaum and Silvia, 2011), working memory capacity (Lee and Therriault, 2013, Süß et al., 2002), and verbal fluency (B”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
