A review of Katz's 1983 article “Creativity and Individual Differences in Asymmetric Cerebral Hemispheric Functioning” in the first issue of this journal shows that the data presented do not support the conclusion that creative people have a tendency toward right-hemisphere lateralization in problem solving and verbal processing, but instead suggest that creativity is associated with a pattern of reduced hemispheric asymmetry.
The author examines the relationship between cohort size and migration patterns among the population of the French West Indies island of St. Barthelemy. Data show that "for people born from 1878 to 1967, neither cohort size nor fluctuations in external demands for labor had a lasting effect on the probability of eventual migration. Emigration rates only slowed after the development of the local tourist industry brought prosperity to the island."
