Study finds link between creativity of person, their semantic memory and brain function
Paris [France], February 6 : How much is the creativity of a person linked to their brain function? A recent study has opened up on this. It talks about a link between real-life creativity, semantic memory structure and brain functional connectivity.
The study was led by the group of Emmanuelle Volle, at Paris Brain Institute and their international collaborators. They established this link for the first time. The results were published in 'Science Advances'.
The results indicated that real-life creativity relied on individual differences in semantic memory organization that can be predicted from brain functional connectivity.
Creativity is a cognitive function that we use in our everyday life, to solve problems, cope with change, and innovate. In neuroscience, it is usually defined as the ability to produce something new and appropriate to a specific context. In real-life, this capacity I applied in diverse activities, including, for instance, visual art, sciences, music or writing, in which we can reach various levels of achievement.
According to the associative theory of creativity, creative thinking relied, at least in part, on the organization of associations in semantic memory, i.e., on the way elements of our knowledge are connected to each other.
