The Benefits of Deliberate Practice on Creativity and Its Neural Basis
نویسنده
چکیده
The current chapter explores the benefits of artistic practice, placing an emphasis on its creative benefits. A revised cognitive twofold model of creativity—based on idea generation and idea evaluation—as well as a proposed underpinning neural system are used to shed light on the cognitive and neural processes that occur during artistic training. The process of becoming a professional artist requires an individual to reach a high level of expertise while maintaining an expected degree of creativity. Achieving a high level of expertise requires practice. Practice can lead to automatization—a behavior which, upon superficial analysis, appears to conflict with creativity. However, it is proposed that through deliberate practice of improvisation specifically, one trains oneself to “let-go”, reducing the stringent evaluation of ideas. Deliberate practice in improvisation (reducing inhibition) is shown to have domain-general effects such as increased creativity scores, and changing neural functioning, also in non-artistic domains.
