Abstract
The current study investigated whether creativity can be boosted by priming and whether the content of the priming can modulate creative performance either in content-general or content-specific manner. Our study demonstrates that implicit priming modulates creative performance in a content-specific way, suggesting that creativity may be a domain-specific skill rather than a domain-general skill.
