PARRA RODRIGUEZ, Jaime. Characterization of creative cognition in youths with school retardation and social deprivation. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2010, vol.8, n.1, pp.455-479. ISSN 1692-715X.

This actual research has as purpose to characterize the creative cognition over a children and young population in a certain situation which lacks of an educational level according to their due age and also lacks of some social coverage. The research is based on some theoretical arguments focusing on cognition, especially from "the genoplore model" and computable model. On the research a sample model was given to evaluate creativity in a group of children and teenagers between nine and seventeen years old within an educational level between primary and high school. They were randomly selected from several foster homes. We found through this research that this kind of population has some cognitional creativity with a normal distribution and a slightly asymmetry towards the left side, making plausible then central hypothesis of the cognitive and computable theories which assures that creativity is also distributed in all human subjects and not only in some exceptional ones, which indirectly indicates that creative cognition persists and can be found itself distributed without regarding the children and teenagers' vulnerability.

Keywords : Creative cognition; cognitive structures; cognitive processes; visual representation; verbal representation; cognitive expansion; cognitive combine.
