Direct linkLi, Yangping; Beaty, Roger E.; Luchini, Simone; Dai, David Yun; Xiang, Shuoqi; Qi, Senqing; Li, Yadan; Zhao, Ruili; Wang, Xuewei; Hu, Weiping – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been shown to enhance divergent and convergent creative thinking. Yet, how stimulation impacts creative performance over time, and what cognitive mechanisms underlie any such enhancement, remain largely unanswered questions. In the present research,…

Carlsson, Ingegerd; Davidson, Per; Ors, Marianne – Creativity Research Journal, 2019
The effect of napping versus wakefulness was studied on primed and repeated Remote Associate Tests (RATs) and on divergent creativity tests. The participants were 42 students from the USA, studying international courses at a Swedish university. The hypotheses for the RATs were (1), when the correct answers were primed before the nap, the RAT…

The Relationships of Mental States and Intellectual Processes in the Learning Activities of Students
Download full textProkhorov, Alexander O.; Chernov, Albert V.; Yusupov, Mark G. – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2016
Investigation of the interaction of mental states and cognitive processes in the classroom allows us to solve the problem of increasing the effectiveness of training by activating cognitive processes and management of students' mental states. This article is concerned with the most general patterns of interaction between mental state and…

Haarmann, Henk J.; George, Timothy; Smaliy, Alexei; Dien, Joseph – Journal of Problem Solving, 2012
Previous studies found that performance on the remote associates test (RAT) improves after a period of incubation and that increased alpha brain waves over the right posterior brain predict the emergence of RAT insight solutions. We report an experiment that tested whether increased alpha brain waves during incubation improve RAT performance.…

Kohn, Nicholas; Smith, Steven M. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2009
Incubation has long been proposed as a mechanism in creative problem solving (Wallas, 1926). A new trial-by-trial method for observing incubation effects was used to compare the forgetting fixation hypothesis with the conscious work hypothesis. Two experiments examined the effects of incubation on initially unsolved Remote Associates Test (RAT)…

Cunningham, J. Barton; MacGregor, James N.; Gibb, Jenny; Haar, Jarrod – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2009
A central question in creativity concerns how insightful ideas emerge. Anecdotal examples of insightful scientific and technical discoveries include Goodyear's discovery of the vulcanization of rubber, and Mendeleev's realization that there may be gaps as he tried to arrange the elements into the Periodic Table. Although most people would regard…

Peer reviewedNoppe, Lloyd D.; Gallagher, Jeanette M. – Journal of Personality Assessment, 1977
College students were administered the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT), the Remote Associates Test (RAT), a questionnaire concerning RAT strategy, and two self-report scales. Field independent subjects were found to be significantly more creative than field dependents; and advanced strategy levels and insightful responses were significantly…
