2. Wallach and Kogan argued that creativity tests should be administered in a game-like environment and should not apply time limitations.

Mednick believed that creative people are able to produce original ideas because they have the ability to form associations in their minds. Mednick analyzed the creative process through stimulus-response (S-R) perspective, he thought producing unusual or original responses to a stimulus required creativity and defined creativity based on this point of view.

This method involves removing obstacles so the client can move forward, freeing him or her for normal growth and development.
2. Bandura’s key contribution to learning theory was the idea that much learning is vicarious. We learn by observing someone else’s behavior and its consequences.
