Authors found that field independent individuals outperformed field dependent ones in each of the four tasks of the Visual Creative Synthesis Task, showing higher levels of creativity. Results were discussed in light of the better predisposition of field independent individuals in mental imagery, mental manipulation of abstract objects, as well as in using their knowledge during complex tasks that require creativity.
