Creativity and intelligence in children with and without developmental dyslexia

This study aimed to verify if the creativity of children with Developmental Dyslexia (CG; n = 13) differs from children without difficulties in reading and writing (NG; n = 13). Furthermore, we sought to verify how creativity could be related to intelligence. The Raven Colored Progressive Matrices Test and the Child Figural Creativity Test were applied in both groups. High correlations were found between intelligence and creativity in both groups, and variable correlations for the same type of analysis were found in the literature. There were no significant intergroup differences for creativity, although the NG had a higher overall average in creativity and the CG, the highest averages in most evaluated creative characteristics. The possible involvement of psychological/neuropsychological constructs with creativity, such as spatial processing and emotion, was discussed.Objetivou-se verificar se a criatividade de criancas com Dislexia do Desenvolvimento (GC; n = 13) diferiria daquela apresentada por criancas sem dificuldades em leitura e escrita (GN; n = 13), verificando ainda o quanto esse construto poderia estar relacionado a inteligencia nesse quadro. O teste Matrizes Progressivas Coloridas de Raven e o Teste de Criatividade Figural Infantil foram aplicados em ambos os grupos. Verificaram-se altas correlacoes entre inteligencia e criatividade em ambos os grupos, e encontrada correlacoes variaveis para o mesmo tipo de analise na literatura. Nao foram encontradas diferencas significativas para criatividade intergrupo, apesar de o GN ter apresentado maior media geral em criatividade e o GC maiores medias na maioria das caracteristicas criativas avaliadas. Discutiu-se o possivel envolvimento de construtos psicologicos/neuropsicologicos com a criatividade, como o de processamento visoespacial e emotividade.

Criatividade em indivíduos com transtornos e dificuldades de aprendizagem: revisão de pesquisas

This study aimed to characterize the national and international scientific production focused on investigating the relationship between creativity and difficulties / learning disabilities. Nationally were consulted the SCIELO databases, PEPSIC, CAPES and BDTD and internationally the APA bases, ERIC, PubMed and Scopus without delimitation of time. The results indicated the existence of 57 international and five domestic productions. The analysis found that there were no significant statistical differences between the averages of the past three decades productions; the investigations have focused mainly on the specific reading disability/Dyslexia; use of quantitative methodology; and using the Torrance Test. Some classifications given to groups investigated in most studies do not denote clearly the origins of learning disabilities, whether they were or not resulting from the learning disorder. We conclude that further studies are needed on the subject, provided there is a better characterization of the investigated groups and classifications used.This study aimed to characterize the national and international scientific production focused on investigating the relationship between creativity and difficulties / learning disabilities.

Teste para Identificação de Sinais de Dislexia: processo de construção

Este estudo objetivou apresentar os processos de construcao de um teste de triagem para avaliar sinais de dislexia. O procedimento foi realizado em duas fases: (a) identificacao de producoes cientificas e instrumentos nacionais e internacionais sobre a avaliacao da dislexia e selecao das habilidades cognitivo-linguisticas mais frequentemente avaliadas; (b) construcao da versao preliminar e analise por juizes especialistas. A partir dessas fases foi elaborado o Teste para Identificacao de Sinais de Dislexia, destinado a criancas na faixa etaria de 8 a 11 anos. O teste e composto pela avaliacao de oito habilidades: leitura, escrita, atencao visual, calculo, habilidades motoras, consciencia fonologica, nomeacao rapida e memoria imediata. Estudos futuros sao necessarios a fim de que sejam verificadas evidencias de validade e confiabilidade do instrumento.
