-
How do modern creativity research distinguish between creative potential and creative achievement?

- Recent research suggests creative potential may depend on IQ, while creative achievement is independent of IQ
-
Explain how intelligence and creativity are related based on the threshold hypothesis.
- Relation: Above average intelligence is a necessity for high-level creativity
- Correlation exists up to 120 IQ points, fading off after that gradually
-
What are the main findings of historiometric studies analyzing the biographies of prominent creators for symptoms related to psychopathological syndromes?
- The rate and intensity of psychopathological symptoms are higher among prominent creators
- Highly creative artists are about two times more likely to experience psychiatric disorders compared to noncreative individuals
- Depression is the most common problem faced by creative individuals, along with correlates of alcoholism and suicide
- The more eminent the creator, the higher the expected rate and intensity
- Symptoms may vary by specific domain of creativity, with poets experiencing more psychopathology than scientists
- Family lines producing prominent creators also have higher rates and intensity of psychopathological symptoms
-
How can neuroscience approach the study of the relationship between creativity and psychopathology?
- Through brain imaging to study shared cognitive mechanisms
- Through molecular biology to identify genetic variations
- Utilizing three large-scale brain networks during creative cognition
- Link between creativity, latent inhibition, and dopamine -
What are the three large-scale brain networks involved in creative cognition?
- The Executive Attention Network (outer prefrontal cortex + parietal lobe)
- The Imagination Network (deep PFC + temporal lobe + parietal lobe)
- The Salience Network (dorsal anterior cingulate cortices + anterior insula) -
How can reducing the activation of the Executive Attention Network help creativity?
- Good to slightly reduce its activation
- Increase activation of the Imagination and Salience Networks
- Promotes generation of novel ideas during the creative process -
What is latent inhibition and how is it related to creativity?
- Latent inhibition is a filtering mechanism for stimuli
- Low latent inhibition associated with high creative achievement
- Tied to the neurotransmitter dopamine and linked to creative personality and originality facet of divergent thinking -
How does reduced latent inhibition relate to creativity and psychopathology?
- Reduced latent inhibition associated with high creative achievement
- Link between eminent creators and acute-phase schizophrenia in reduced latent inhibition
- Helps understand overlap between creativity and psychopathological syndromes

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
