Time spent experiencing creative goal-directed attention, followed by undirected attention, is the optimal sequence for maximizing both the usefulness and novelty of creative outputs. 

#Art #Science #RelationalSpace #Attention

Boundary-spanning behavior is a crucial catalyst for creativity, providing new resources, ideas & inspiration, but also poses challenges, potentially depleting cognitive resources & inducing stress that hinders creativity.

Human creativity is based on observing, imaging, abstracting, analogizing, playacting, modeling & body thinking. AI systems are currently only capable of pattern forming/recognition, so are not yet capable of true creativity.

Receiving tacit knowledge leads the recipient to elaborate the received knowledge, which in turn boosts the recipient's creativity. This relationship is stronger when the recipient's psychological closeness to the partner is higher.

Uncertainty is experienced as destabilizing & results in doubt. Doubt & uncertainty, when perceived as actionable, can open-up a horizon of new possibilities for creative activity.

Creativity is not solely determined by personality and traits. Creative people require certain contexts and social factors to fully realize their potential to create.

Team creative diversity has a significant positive effect on creative performance but the high creativity of members does not translate into high team creative performance.

#Art #Science #RelationalSpace #Diversity

Cognitively diverse teams outperform high intelligence (IQ) teams in problem solving, while businesses with at least one woman in their board of directors financially outperform ones with all men boards.

Crystallized intelligence (knowledge acquired through education & experience) supports creativity. Those with crystalized intelligence with  flexible access to semantic memory show enhanced verbal intelligence & creativity.

Using AI in education increases the loss of human decision-making capabilities & increases lazier performance due to automation. Dependencies on AI can decrease interest in performing activities or learning new skills or methodologies.

Creative adults are most creative on days with highly activated positive emotions & well-being but significantly less creative on days with negative emotions. High levels of openness enhances likelihood of everyday creativity.

Experiencing rudeness reduces performance on routine tasks as well as on creative tasks as well as decreasing helpfulness, due to disruption to cognitive processes.

#Art #Science #RelationalSpace #Rudeness

Creative individuals (greater divergent thinking) tend to be more engaged & explorative with their thoughts when task demands are relaxed. They experience less boredom & greater flow of thought.

There is an interconnectedness of humans & nonhuman entities & an embodied nature of identity and subjectivity. Reductionist approaches have constrained the arts’ potential to contribute more holistically to therapeutic practices.

#Art #Science #RelationalSpace #Therapeutic

During group interactions, the group mindset contributes more to collective outcomes than individual creativity due to the tendency to herd with the group & the cognitive goal of generating novel ideas.

Multi-media creative arts therapy has the potential to increase well-being and reduce anxiety for individuals with a neurodegenerative condition, such as Parkinson’s disease.

Greater semantic memory networks allow for more efficient searches, thus enabling creativity. Therefore, greater semantic richness leads to greater linguistic maturity, resulting in increased creativity.

#Art #Science #RelationalSpace #Linguistic

Some people follow a more linear approach to creativity, and others a more iterative approach. Those who followed the iterative approach spend more time on idea selection & development, thus generating more original solutions.

#Art #Science #RelationalSpace #Iterative

Divergent thinking involves integration from concrete sensory information to abstract, higher-level cognition. It is positively correlated with dopamine-related neurotransmitters & genes influencing neurotransmitter release.

#Art #Science #RelationalSpace #Divergent

Atypical salience processing fosters creative thinking by prioritizing irrelevant information, broadening idea generation & inhibiting others overlook.

Different factors, (ie gender, goal attributes, grit, task value, creativity & self-efficacy) largely predict high and low self-regulated learning during ill-structured problem-solving, in the context of online learning.

#Art #Science #RelationalSpace #Prediction

Individuals attribute subjective values to their ideas, as a relative balance of their originality & adequacy. This relative balance depends on individual preferences & predicts individuals’ creative abilities.

A radical imagination envisions valuing differences as fundamental for developing meaningful relationships among the workforce. A central requirement for this vision must be seeing the value - not the threat.

Basic forms of musical entrainment may be considered intrinsically creative. Musical entrainment is a building block for different musical creativities that shape one's musical development.

#Art #Science #RelationalSpace #Music

People have complex preferences for generating ideas during problem solving, activated by different underlying structures of the task. Aligning thinking styles with task structure improves overall motivation &  performance.
