“…Of course, this contextual specificity is not exclusive of the speech internalization process. Several studies have shown similar results in relation to concept formation and grouping skills, memory development, reasoning, and arguing skills (Cole and Scribner 1977;Daugherty 1993;Daugherty et al 1994;Matuga 2003).…”

Children's private speech has been widely studied among children, but it is clear that adults use private speech as well. In this study, illiterate adults' private speech during a ''school-like'' task was explored as a function of literacy level and task difficulty in a sample of 126 adults enrolled in a public literacy program. A main effect for literacy level was found-private speech was more internalized and less externalized among adults with higher literacy levels. Externalized private speech was more frequently observed among illiterate adults engaged in the most difficult task. Private speech served cognitive functions as indicated by the proportion of self-regulatory private speech and the proportion of private speech preceding actions being higher in the advanced literacy group and among illiterate adults doing the easier task. Internalized private speech, self-regulatory private speech, and private speech preceding action were each positively correlated with performance and negatively correlated with time to complete the task. The use of private speech in illiterate adults appears to be linked to the mastery of cultural experiences, such as literacy, similar to the selftalk of children.

“…Besides, older children may be loaded with more negative or positive social experiences that may distract them from being creative. As such, findings from some studies do show a decrement of creativity with age: e.g., from age 3 to 4 (Torrance, 1968), from age 3 to 5 (Daugherty, 1993), from age 5 to 6 (Urban, 1991), from age 6 to 8 (Smith & Carlsson, 1983), from age 8 to 10 (Lubart & Lautrey, 1995), from grade K to grade 1 (Torrance, 1968).…”

“…Other than a linear positive or negative trend, findings from some studies do show other patterns of relationship between creativity and age: e.g., no relationship from grade 4 to 6 (Runco, 1989); a J-shaped pattern from age 6 to 20s (Smolucha & Smolucha, 1985); a U-shaped pattern from age 6 to 12 (Rosenblatt & Winner, 1988), from age 3 to 6 (Daugherty, 1993), and from grade 4 to 6 (Runco, 1991); an inverted U-shaped pattern from grade 1 to 12 (Camp, 1994) and from grade 3 to 5 (Charles & Runco, 2000-2001; and an inverted J-shaped or somewhat inverted U-shaped pattern from grade 1 to 5 (Besançon & Lubart, 2008).…”

Both Chae and Urban used the Test of Creative Thinking-Drawing Production (TCT-DP), and found different trends.…”
