This article reviews developmental studies of creativity in children and adoles-
cents with a focus on “peaks” and “slumps” that have often been described in
the literature. The irregularity of the development of creativity is interpreted in
light of conceptual and measurement issues and with regard to the interaction
between individual-level resources, task-specific demands, and environmental
influences, resulting in apparent individual differences in the development of cre-
ativity. The need for longitudinal designs, multidimensional and multi-domain
assessment of creative potential limiting the contribution of task-specific factors
is outlined and discussed as an important direction for developmental research
on creativity.
