In this study, we investigate the relationships between creativity, critical thinking, and pattern recognition among 203 private school students in Singapore.

An implication of the research outcome is that more training on critical thinking should be given to the students to improve their pattern recognition ability. 2020 Journal PeerReviewed text en http://ur.aeu.edu.my/705/1/10.1080%4000220671.2020.1716203.pdf Daniel Ling, Meng Kay and Loh, Sau Cheong (2020) Relationship of Creativity and Critical Thinking to Pattern Recognition Among Singapore Private School Students.
