(2012) explicated the contrary. Consequently, one could claim that 5-HT is of a similar value to DA for reward processing; nevertheless, it is mostly ignored in the studies related to creativity. These investigations imply that the morphology of the mesencephalic DA system and associated DA function are correlated with creativity. Controlled processing may co-occur with spontaneous cognition—mediated by a subset of the default mode networks (DMNs; e.g., the angular gyrus (AnG) in the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), which has been frequently implicated in creative cognition; Mok, 2014). Inhibitory control as a core process of creative problem solving and idea generation from childhood to adulthood. J. Pers. /N 8 Cognition 49, 165–187. Thus, prevention focus provides the indirect negative effect of competitive mindsets on creativity (Bittner and Heidemeier, 2013; Bittner et al., 2016). Subsequently, when the demand for controlled processing is substantially increased, the DMN may be suppressed. Nevertheless, during CT, tonic and phasic pupil dilation did not predict creative task performance in both creativity tasks. A delicate balance between further spontaneous processing vs. more controlled processing may likely enhance creative cognition to the extent that default activity does not become suppressed due to the substantial need for controlled processing (Mok, 2012). Salgado-Pineda et al. Second, deficits in the frontal lobe might diminish idea generation due to the rigid judgments about the value of the idea. (2010). Creativity is a multifaceted construct, in which different moods influence distinct components of creative thoughts (Kaufmann, 2003). Individuals who are cognitively flexible will be able to learn more quickly, solve problems more creatively, and adapt and respond to new situations more effectively. /Linearized 1.0 Potential precursors for creativity changes (i.e. Symbols ± symbolize positive and negative influences, while an “X” symbolizes no influence revealed. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2008.09.006, Walther, D. J., Peter, J. U., Bashammakh, S., Hörtnagl, H., Voits, M., Fink, H., et al. We will first elaborate on how different cognitive functions support creativity and on their neural basis as revealed by structural and functional brain imaging studies. Multivariate analyses of variance indicated a significant association between the ideational fluency scores and several genes (DAT, COMT, DRD4, and TPH1). 6, 157–167. The flexibility pathway suggests stimulating creativity through a flexible switching between categories, approaches, and sets while the persistence pathway leads to creativity through hard work, systematic and effortful exploration of possibilities, and in-depth exploration of just a few categories (Nijstad et al., 2010). Reward system design and group creativity: an experimental investigation. Someone who is cognitively flexible will be able to learn more quickly, solve problems more creatively, and adapt and respond to new situations more effectively, which is why it’s so important in both educational settings and the workplace. doi: 10.1016/j.plefa.2003.08.019, Gaut, B. Epinephrine and norepinephrine responses in continuously collected human plasma to a series of stressors. Neuron 59, 1037–1050. Specifically, cognitive flexibility is diminished in several neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s (Tomer et al., 2002). Therefore, it is a matter of compensation. During DT, the tonic pupil dilation predicted the generation of original ideas in both creativity tasks while phasic pupil dilation predicted the generation of useful ideas only in the real-world creativity task. doi: 10.1016/j.ijpsycho.2015.04.010, Zhang, T., Zhang, Q., Wang, C., and Chen, A.

Their study provided a shred of evidence for the implication of COMT in creative potential, which suggests that DA-related genes may act in coordination to contribute to creativity. (2011) suggested a clear genetic basis for ideational fluency. Creativity appears in various diverse models, tones, and shades (Feist, 2010; Perlovsky and Levine, 2012).

The third level is represented in the innovative behavior, which relates to specific recognition of a particular object characterized by novelty. The first pathway [which was through nucleus accumbens (NAc)] anticipated more reappraisal achievement while the second pathway (through ventral amygdala) anticipated reduced reappraisal achievement. 0000024629 00000 n Fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration can be thought of as the cornerstones of creative thinking.

The present study aimed to investigate whether varying levels of cognitive flexibility training could improve flexible thinking and lead to greater ideational fluency and creative performance on subsequent brainstorming tasks.

In contrast, the “selective retention” component could be represented by convergent thinking (CT), as represented by measures of remote associates (e.g., Remote Associates Test; RAT).

They described the emergence of artistic talent in a subset of patients with dementia who developed incipient and impassioned abilities in visual arts. /E 33610 55, 595–603. Nevertheless, not every person who is an artist, inventor or scientist is similarly creative, nor are all creative (innovative) individual artists, inventors or scientists. Competitive mindsets, creativity, and the role of regulatory focus. 125, 255–272. No use, distribution or reproduction is permitted which does not comply with these terms. The genetic basis of creativity and ideational fluency. Dietrich and Kanso (2010) pointed out that creative thinking does not critically depend on a particular single mental process or specific brain region, and it is not mainly associated with right brains, defocused attention, low arousal, or alpha synchronization, as it also has often been hypothesized. Many studies reported the first candidate genes for creativity (Reuter et al., 2006; Runco et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2014a, b; Zabelina et al., 2016; Grigorenko, 2017; see Table 1). On the contrary, negative-activating moods with avoidance motivation and a prevention focus (e.g., fear, anxiety, or even relaxation) correlated with lower creativity. Following this initial finding, researchers implemented a unique pathway-mapping approach to map subcortical mediators of the association between vlPFC activity and reappraisal achievement (i.e., a decrease in the expressed emotion).

Instead, it was attempted to define processes that underlie all creative thought. Also, the reduction of DA agonist was significantly correlated to the decrease in creativity in the whole study population.
