- Why do ideas get more creative across time? An executive interpretation of the serial order effect in divergent thinking tasks. (2012, methodology): “The Remote Associates Test (RAT; Mednick, 1962), a task designed to assess this conception of creative ability, remains a popular measure 50 years later ( Sawyer, 2011).”
- Brain activity, underlying mood and the environment: A systematic review (2019, background): “In cognitive psychology, brain measures are criticised for being unable to add any new information to the literature since the seventies (Sawyer, 2011) and it is unclear if this is also the case for environmental psychology.”
- Stimulating Creativity: Modulation of Convergent and Divergent Thinking by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) (2015, background): “Moreover, creative problem solving implicates several brain regions and neural networks (for review see Sawyer, 2011).”
- The roles of the temporal lobe in creative insight: an integrated review (2017, methodology): “BFFAT: biological functional feature association tasks fMRI: functional magnetic resonance imaging HUs: humorous interpretations IFG: inferior frontal gyrus IPL: inferior parietal lobule ITG: inferior temporal gyrus LCD: loose chunk decomposition LPC: late positive component MFG: middle frontal gyru”
- The Neuroscience of Intelligence (2016, background): “A subsequent critical review came to similar conclusions and listed suggestions for future research that emphasized the important role for collaboration between creativity researchers and cognitive neuroscientists (Sawyer, 2011).”
- Enhancement of Creative Thinking Skills Using a Cognitive-Based Creativity Training (2017, background): “…a topic not open to scientific research (Sternberg and Lubart 1999; Treffinger 2009)—perhaps due to traditional beliefs that creativity has mystical origins—but in recent years, increasing insights have been gained into how creative ideas arise in the brain (e.g., see the review by Sawyer 2011).”
