近年來在各個產業中創造力的重要性不斷被提及,而影響創造力產生的關鍵能力之一就是聯想力,因此本研究旨在探討聯想力的訓練方法,透過給予受試者兩種不同型態的聯想力訓練,對受試者聯想力提升的影響。研究方法為實驗研究法,受試者總共37位,將其分為兩組,分別為一般遠距聯想訓練組(n = 19)及自由聯想訓練組(n = 18),為期十天的訓練,訓練期間同時蒐集受試者的心律變異度資訊,以此生理資訊作為學習情緒判別之依據。實驗總共有兩階段的訓練,整體實驗流程為,訓練開始前進行前測,並於兩階段訓練間實施中測,第二階段訓練後實施後測,後測後進行訪談。在全體實驗結束後,將量化數據進行統計分析,使用的統計方法為Mann Whitney U test差異考驗及Wilcoxon差異考驗。經過統計數據的整理及質化資料的整後提出以下研究結論: 一、 當給予的刺激字與語義或概念相關太遙遠時不利聯想力的發揮 二、 字詞型遠距聯想及字詞型自由聯想不是用來訓練聯想力的有效方式
The important of creativity attracts extensive attention worldwide in recent years. Association is one of the key ability effect creativity. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the influence of free association and remote association on association by experimental research. There are total 37 participants into two group, the free association group (n = 18) and the remote association group (n = 19). The training takes ten days into two stages, 14 minutes per day. Their heart rate variability data was collected during the training for discriminating their learning emotion. Before first stage the participants have a pretest, between the first and second stage they have a middle test and after the second stage they have a posttest and an interview. After all procedure, we take the Mann Whitney U test and Wilcoxon test for statistical data. It was found that first, while the concept or semantic network is too remote it will be less effective associative thinking. Second, both free association and remote association are not suitable for training association.
