  • Summary

    The search for physiological correlates of intelligence, prior to the 1990s, largely revolved around well-established correlates found across species, particularly nerve conduction velocity and overall brain size. Human studies arose naturally from the psychometric literature noting that individuals with higher IQ had both faster reaction times and less variability in their responses (Jensen, 1982). These reaction time studies implied that there was something about intelligence beyond acquisition of knowledge, learning, and skill development, which: (1) could be measured with a high degree of accuracy, (2) could be obtained with minimal bias, (3) had a developmental trajectory from childhood through the teen years, and (4) (presumably) had something to do with neuronal structure and/or functional capacity.

  • Summary

    A few brave researchers ventured into the arena of creative cognition, with three in particular – Kenneth Heilman (2003), Arne Dietrich (2004), and Alice Flaherty (2005) – putting forth specific theoretical constructs amenable to empirical research. These theories emerged at the front end of a large body of neuroimaging research regarding brain correlates of creative cognition emerging in the early part of the twenty-first century. Hundreds of studies followed these pioneers’ thoughtful attempts to isolate creative capacity within brain structure and function. Two major questions are addressed: (1) How did their theories hold up in light of empirical data? (2) Do their theoretical constructs have implications for the nascent hypothesizing around imagination ability?

  • Historically, the brain bases of creativity have been of great interest to scholars and the public alike. However, recent technological innovations in the neurosciences, coupled with theoretical and methodological advances in creativity assessment, have enabled humans to gain unprecedented insights into the contributions of the brain to creative thought. This unique volume brings together contributions by the very best scholars to offer a comprehensive overview of cutting edge research on this important and fascinating topic. The chapters discuss creativity's relationship with intelligence, motivation, psychopathology and pharmacology, as well as the contributions of general psychological processes to creativity, such as attention, memory, imagination, and language. This book also includes specific and novel approaches to understanding creativity involving musicians, polymaths, animal models, and psychedelic experiences. The chapters are meant to give the reader a solid grasp of the diversity of approaches currently at play in this active and rapidly growing field of inquiry.
