Gray et al. (2019) proposed a new construct to predict creativity, which they called forward flow, measured as the originality of chained word associations. Chained word associations, however, do not meet the requirements of a test of originality. The items ask for only 1 response when multiple responses are needed to assess originality, and the sequential responding means that the items are not independent as required for a test. Also, the originality of the associations is questionably calculated from the starting word instead of in relation to the preceding cue word. Probably because of these problems, scores on the new construct measured in this way show only weak correlations with scores on standard measures of creativity.

格雷等人（2019 年）提出了一个新的构念来预测创造力，他们称之为前向流动，通过连锁词联想的新颖性来衡量。然而，连锁词联想并不符合原创性测试的要求。这些项目在需要多个反应来评估新颖性时只要求 1 个反应，而顺序反应意味着项目不独立，不符合测试的要求。此外，联想的新颖性是从起始词而不是与前导提示词相关的角度来质疑地计算的。可能由于这些问题，以这种方式衡量的新构念的得分与创造力的标准衡量标准的得分仅显示出微弱的相关性。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
