Text 1: Researchers have long debated whether creativity is primarily an innate trait or a developed skill. Recent neuroimaging studies suggest that creative output correlates with flexible connectivity between brain networks, a pattern that can be strengthened through deliberate practice. Text 2: While training can improve specific creative tasks—such as generating rhymes or designing logos—psychologists caution that domain-specific skill gains do not necessarily transfer to broader creative thinking. The most prolific inventors and artists often display exceptional baseline creativity before any formal training. Based on both texts, what would the author of Text 2 most likely say about the claim in Text 1 that creativity can be strengthened through deliberate practice?

The claim is entirely false because creativity is purely innate. The claim may apply to specific tasks but likely does not hold for creativity in general. The claim is well-supported by neuroimaging data and should be accepted. The claim underestimates the role of formal training in developing creative ability.

Correct Answer:

The claim may apply to specific tasks but likely does not hold for creativity in general.
