Exercise and children's cognition: The role of exercise characteristics and a place for metacognition (2015, unknown): “Also, tests of creative thinking and motor creativity involving executive function 52,53 require applying problem-solving strategies without time pressure.”
Taking the U.S. Patent Office Criteria Seriously: A Quantitative Three-Criterion Creativity Definition and Its Implications (2012, background): “7I have not even mentioned a fourth potential implication of adopting a three-criterion definition: It may enhance creativity research in the cognitive neurosciences (for reviews, see Dietrich & Kanso, 2010; Sawyer, 2011).”
Creative Cognition and Brain Network Dynamics (2015, background): “Concluding Remarks Creativity researchers have long questioned whether creative thought involves more or less cognitive control [66,67].”
Creativity and Discovery as Blind Variation: Campbell's (1960) BVSR Model after the Half-Century Mark (2011, background): “Instead, there are a great many different processes, mechanisms, or procedures that all can generate creative ideas or discoveries in various circumstances (Simonton & Damian, in press; see also Dietrich & Kanso, 2010).”
Investigating the structure of semantic networks in low and high creative persons (2014, background): “…mental processes enabling creativity were considered mystical and un-researchable, nowadays an ample body of research has been established, permitting the examination of the creative ability like any other cognitive process (Dietrich, 2004; Dietrich and Kanso, 2010; Sawyer, 2011; Abraham, 2013).”
The roles of the temporal lobe in creative insight: an integrated review (2017, methodology): “Given that complex brain function is increasingly understood to be the outcome of flexible and distributed neural interactions (Dietrich & Kanso, 2010; Rubinov & Sporns, 2010; Sporns, 2011), there is a need for more sophisticated measures, such as cross-frequency EEG interactions, fMRI and/or…”
The cognitive underpinnings of creative thought: A latent variable analysis exploring the roles of intelligence and working memory in three creative thinking processes (2013, background): “…towards determining operational creative processes is driven partly to the advances in neuroimaging techniques, for which psychometrically robust and consistent methods for assessing various cognitive processes in creativity is needed (Arden et al., 2010; Dietrich, 2004; Dietrich & Kanso, 2010).”
