CARPIO, CLAUDIO et al. INTELLIGENCE, CREATIVITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT. Act.Colom.Psicol. [online]. 2007, vol.10, n.2, pp.41-50. ISSN 0123-9155.

This article carries out a general analysis of the ambiguities found in the psychological literature about the concept of creativity and presents the Interbehavioral Model of Creative Behavior (IMCB) which states that there is a continuum between intelligent and creative behavior, and that variability and effectiveness are recognized as relevant dimensions of intelligence, whereas the corresponding dimension for creativity is the originality of criteria before ambiguous situations (in terms of contingency relations). The results of the studies derived from the IMCB are described. A general outline of the way in which these studies may contribute to redefining the psychologist’s role in educational settings is also presented.

Palavras-chave : psychological development; competences; intelligence; creativity; education.
