Cognitive Correlates of Creativity

 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).

Neural Correlates of Creativity

  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

How to become more Creative

  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 Cognitive Views Of Learning

Image
  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.
