Abstract
This research describes instrumental role of artificially generated images during artistic judgment aptitude construct validation, then corroborates results with structural MRI brain scanning when hypothesis is an aptitude. MRI scanning shows artistic judgment aptitude is mediated by several aesthetic neuron networks with suggestion of asymmetrical lateralization to right hemisphere. Prominent questions addressed by this research are, first, do MRI brain scans support validity of stochastic generative images for artistic judgment aptitude testing? Secondly, how does generative art facilitate and enhance traditional cognitive test validation? Do generative algorithms and MRI affect construct validity? Finally, how might future research clarify other contributions of generative art to psychometric validation?
