Impact and Sustainability of Creative Capacity Building: The Cognitive, Behavioral, and Neural Correlates of Increasing Creative Capacity
Chapter
First Online:
Abstract
The impact and sustainability of creative capacity building over time is examined using both neural and psychological approaches. Our research proposes a unique experimental design to test whether creativity can be acquired or learned by an individual over time and how this relates to cognition, behavior, and the brain. In this chapter, we review the background work that focuses on specific cognitive, behavioral, and neural processes that may contribute to creative capacity building. We summarize key components of our experimental design, overview its implementation, and preview early outcomes of intervention research as it relates to the creative capacity building.
