中文遠距聯想具有客觀、易於施測、容易記分等優點，是一個應用價值高且值得推廣的創造力測驗，但是目前尚未發展出具有良好效度的正式量表。本研究嘗試由中文遠距聯想量表得分與聯結層級、工作記憶廣度以及知覺與認知抑制的關連性，來探討其解題需具備哪些認知能力，以利後續量表之修訂。本研究結果發現，中文遠距聯想量表的得分高、低兩分組在聯結層級及工作記憶廣度並無顯著差異（實驗一）；但在提取練習派典以及負向促發作業但在表現上則都有顯著差異（實驗二）。本文亦討論上述結果的可能意涵及其應用性。

Chinese Remote Association Test (CRAT) with the advantages of objective, easy-to-construction survey, was a highly valued and worth promoting creativity test, but has not yet developed a good validity of the scale. This study aimed to explore what kind of cognitive abilities are required of sovling CRAT, using scores of CRAT and the associative hierarchy, working memory capacity and perceptual and cognitive inhibition. We found that to separate the score of CRAT in high and low two levels, there are no significant differences in associative hierarchy and working memory capacity (Exp. 1); but there are significant difference in retrieval practice paradigm and negative priming tasks (Exp. 2). This article also discussed the possible implications of these results and its applicability.
