Abstract

This study examined how perceived cognitive load mediates the relationships between working memory, implicit theories of creativity, and creative thinking. Entity beliefs about creativity led to higher perceived cognitive load. Lower cognitive load, in turn, predicted higher creative thinking (fluency and originality) scores.
