  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).            

  The cognitive, emotional and neural correlates of creativity: In addition to allowing people and their groups to adapt quickly to changing  conditions, manage complicated social relationships, and thrive through social,  technological, and medical breakthroughs, creativity lies at the heart of great  achievements in the arts and sciences (Baas, 2015). The capacity to come up with original, possibly beneficial ideas and solutions  to problems (also known as creativity) is one of the most highly regarded and  sought-after skills in modern civilizations. It makes sense that (i) the human  brain evolved to sustain and promote creative thinking, and that we should  therefore be able to identify, (ii) the brain circuitry and neurosurgical modulators  of the human capacity for creativity, and (iii) the core cognitive, motivational, and  emotional processes underlying creative thought. This is because creativity provides  fitness function...

The cognitive load theory: Then we discussed cognitive load theory builds on the premise that working (or short-term) memory has a limited capacity and that overloading it reduces the effectiveness of teaching. Much in the same way that having too many windows open on your computer, reduces its capability to work properly. There are three main types of cognitive load to keep in mind when developing e Learning courses: intrinsic, extrinsic, and germane. Individually, they each have the power to hinder knowledge retention. But if your course design inflicts all three, learners are likely to walk away more confused and overwhelmed than ever (Health ed solutions, 2012). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kF9RIcx1OE  The cognitive load theory has three different types of cognitive load: 

  Week 9 Discussion Leader - Ayman Junaid Participating Group Members- Juan Lin, Qiwen (Heluna) Lun, Sadia Ahsan, Qinglin Kong We began the discussion with talking about the cognitive load theory. The cognitive load theory builds on the premise that working (or short-term) memory has a limited capacity and that overloading it reduces the effectiveness of teaching. Much in the same way that having too many windows open on your computer, reduces its capability to work properly. Then we discussed the 3 different types of cognitive load.  Which are intrinsic, extrinsic, and germane cognitive load. Individually, they each have the power to hinder knowledge retention. We were discussing about how everyone thinks differently and is creative in their own way.
