Prefrontal cortex involvement in creative problem solving in middle adolescence and adulthood
Creative cognition, defined as the generation of new yet appropriate ideas and solutions, serves important adaptive purposes. Here, we tested whether and how middle adolescence, characterized by transformations toward life independency and individuality, is a more profitable phase than adulthood for creative cognition. Behavioral and neural differences for creative problem solving in adolescent...
متن کاملDistinct patterns of outcome valuation and amygdala-prefrontal cortex synaptic remodeling in adolescence and adulthood
Adolescent behavior is typified by increased risk-taking, reward- and novelty-seeking, as well as an augmented need for social and environmental stimulation. This behavioral phenotype may result from alterations in outcome valuation or reward learning. In the present set of experiments, we directly compared adult and adolescent animals on tasks measuring both of these processes. Additionally, w...
متن کاملCreative strategies in problem solving
Three experiments investigated how individuals solve “shape” problems. These problems are not susceptible to a meansends strategy. They consist of a configuration of squares, whose sides consist of separate pieces; and the task is to remove a given number of pieces to leave behind a given number of squares. The paper presents a theory of how individuals develop strategies for these problems. Ex...
متن کاملDisagreement in Creative Problem Solving
This paper examines the claim that differences of opinion play an important part in creativity, and discusses how Artificial Intelligence research can help us to understand the dynamlcs of creative conflict. Research is described in which many different points of view are represented In knowledge bases, and the resulting conflict used to generate debate. The domain of this research is environme...
متن کاملIncubation and Intuition in Creative Problem Solving
Creative problem solving, in which novel solutions are required, has often been seen as involving a special role for unconscious processes (Unconscious Work) which can lead to sudden intuitive solutions (insights) when a problem is set aside during incubation periods. This notion of Unconscious Work during incubation periods is supported by a review of experimental studies and particularly by s...
