This is a study of creative strength required to break away from sound sets to produce non-sound images. 208 American and 208 Hungarian college adults were administered Sounds and Images, Form 2A. Analysis of their responses showed that both groups produced significantly fewer non-sound than sound images and Americans produced significantly more non-sound images than the Hungarians. These differences were attributed to strong cultural determinants and suggested further research on creativity and imagery in cross-cultural settings.
