Abstract
Elaborative thinking is an aspect of thought, a significant
area in which creative minds are most active. Primary grade children
often have vivid imaginations and elaborate on certain ideas. This
ability sometimes may be lost as children grow and are taught adult
methods of thought processes.
It is the authors' hope to cultivate this ability of children
to think imaginatively and creatively. Exercises in elaborative
thinking have been constructed and successfully tried on intermediate
grade children. No such exercises have been available to children in
primary grades. The purpose of this study is to construct exercises
in elaborative thinking for children in the primary grades, and to
conduct an informal evaluation of them.
