Abstract
Creativity is a multifaceted construct in contemporary theories of psychology. This paper takes the perspective of lifespan developmental psychology to (1) look into the emergence of and change in creativity in childhood and adolescence, adulthood, and late adulthood; and (2) examine the critical factors that may facilitate the development of creativity in these life stages. The review suggests that a lifespan approach enables us to capture the patterns of possible growth and decline in human creativity through an interconnected time perspective with reference to functions of creativity. Implications, limitations, and further directions of the lifespan approach to creativity development are also discussed.
