CARPIO, Claudio et al. Creative Behavior: Effects of Variability and Training. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.1, pp.91-104. ISSN 1794-4724.  https://doi.org/10.12804/apl33.01.2015.07.

Several studies have reported that under varying conditions of training, success in the transfer of learning is higher than the transfer observed under constant training conditions. It is viable to assume that the exposition to two different types of training and two different sequences will produce very different effects compared with those found until now. The present study involved two experimental groups of university students: a constant-variable group (CC-VV) and a variable-constant group (VV-CC). Results show that during the training, regardless of the sequence, higher percentages of correct responses are observed under constant conditions. In transfer tests results show that the transfer of learning is lower when constant condition was the first training received. Finally, in creative behavior tests, no significant differences between groups were found, although a better performance was observed in participants from the VV-CC Group. These results contribute to the findings previously found about the effects of the training variability on the emergence of creative behavior and the reversibility of its effects. It was also demonstrated that there is an effect of different presentation of training (sequence).
