ABSTRACT
This volume has presented new studies and reviewed others that made use of the stimulus drawing assessments. The studies examined responses to stimulus drawing tasks by individuals and groups. The responses provided opportunities to identify children and adolescents at risk for aggression and/or depression, the effects of therapeutic or developmental programs, and opportunities to evaluate cognitive and creative strengths and weaknesses across age groups, genders, and cultures. They also suggest an affirmative answer to a question raised in chapter 1: whether stimulus and response drawings tend to activate mirror neurons.
