The Cognitive Views Of Learning

  Lastly what new information has this week's class added to their understanding of the fundamentals of learning? New information that this week's class added to their understanding of the fundamentals of learning is that there are ways that you can become more creative. Anyone can strive to be more creative because it is also a state. Humans are capable of creativity, and there is always room for improvement. People frequently imagine creation as an epiphanic moment, similar to a lightbulb going off. However, being creative in a certain field—whether in the arts, at work, or in daily life—is a skill. Make time for practise and learning. Write down all of your thoughts and ideas, no matter how crazy, as you brainstorm. Editing is always an option. Spending time in outdoors and open areas can increase your creativity, widen your attention, and facilitate healthy mind-wandering. Aha moments can make you feel good, but that surge might cause you to overrate the value...

  How to become more Creative: Anyone can strive to be more creative because it is also a state. Humans are capable  of creativity, and there is always room for improvement (Weir, 2022). People frequently imagine creation as an epiphanic moment, similar to a light bulb  going off. However, being creative in a certain field—whether in the arts, at work,  or in daily life—is a skill. Make time for practise and learning (Weir, 2022). Write down all of your thoughts and ideas, no matter how crazy, as you brainstorm. Editing is always an option. Spending time in outdoors and open areas can increase your creativity, widen your  attention, and facilitate healthy mind-wandering (Weir, 2022). Aha moments can make you feel good, but that surge might cause you to overrate  the value of an original thought. Never be scared to go back and edit and improve  your thoughts (Weir, 2022).   https://www.nytimes.com/guides/year-of-living-better/how-to-be-creative ...

 The science behind Creativity: What is creativity, exactly? According to the common definition employed by researchers , creative ideas are those that are unique and successful. Divergent thinking, or the  capacity to develop a large number of potential answers to a problem or subject, is  frequently used by researchers as a measure of creativity. Specifically, creativity  frequently requires coordination between the default mode network, which is most  active during daydreaming or mind-wandering, and the cognitive control network,  which is involved in executive activities like planning and problem-solving (Weir, 2022).   An area called the frontopolar cortex, in the brain’s frontal lobes, is associated with creative  thinking. And stimulating the area seems to boost creative abilities (Weir, 2022).   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNHDTvqbUm4    Neuromodulation or cognitive therapies that target particular brain regions may...

  Neural Correlates of Creativity: The contradictory findings about the neurological markers of creativity, which  point to the possibility that creative cognition occurs from an ideal equilibrium  between controlled processing mediated by the PFC and spontaneous processing  mediated by the default-mode network (Baas, 2015). It was shown that, along with longer idea generation periods, the formation of  more original ideas was accompanied by an increase in hemispheric asymmetry  (more alpha in the right than left hemisphere) (Baas, 2015). Findings from sleep research and PFC-mediated divergent thinking. These authors  investigated the effects of a single night of sleep deprivation on fluency and PFC  function during divergent thinking, and found that fluency and cognitive  effectiveness were negatively impacted (Baas, 2015).   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0rUmweZxDQ         

 Emotional and Motivational Correlates of Creativity: Previous research demonstrates that repetitive cues, such as love, performing  approach behaviour, and good feelings, such as happiness and joy, drive creativity  and divergent thinking (Baas, 2015). According to other research, unpleasant cues and negative emotions might hinder  divergent and flexible thought, but they can also boost creativity in the correct  situations (Baas, 2015). The positive effects of optimism on cognitive (such as danger perceptions),  emotional (such as anxiety), and volitional processes (such as poor intrinsic  motivation) suggest that it may be a possible treatment for the impacts of  avoidance motivation that undermine creativity (Baas, 2015). Challenge the well-known Edison quote, "Creativity is 1% inspiration and  99% perspiration," and present evidence that both inspiration and perspiration  play significant but distinct roles in creation (Baas, 2015)....

  Cognitive Correlates of Creativity: It’s found that the semantic memory networks of low creative people appear  to be more inflexible than the networks of highly creative people using novel  computational network models (Baas, 2015). The fascinating hypothesis that periods of incubation, or non-task-related  conscious thought, frequently lead to creative discoveries (Baas, 2015). Unconscious processes are said to contribute to creativity during incubation  periods, according to the potential causes of incubation effects (Baas, 2015).
