Eisen received an MA in the social sciences from the University of Chicago. Current research interests are in the assessment of various aspects of creativity and cognitive styles. Address: Mitchell L. Eisen, 6718 Newgard, Chicago, IL 60626. This study investigates the creative abilities of children with learning disabilities by employing a new measure designed to assess creativity without the use of verbal or analytic skills.
