This study had three objectives. To determine whether delegates attending lateral thinking training acquired more lateral thinking skills and knowledge than those without this training. To determine whether lateral thinking training impacted on style of thinking and to determine whether preferred styles of thinking facilitated the acquisition of lateral thinking skills. An experimental group was trained in lateral thinking. Subjects were tested on their lateral thinking skills before and after training. Subjects were also tested to assess their cognitive style before training and six months thereafter. A control group was tested in a similar fashion. 2014-10-11T12:14:47Z 2014-10-11T12:14:47Z 1990 Master Thesis Masters M http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8373 eng application/pdf Organisational Psychology Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
