Neuroimaging creativity: A psychometric view
Rosalind Ardena, Robert S. Chavez, Rachael Grazioplene and Rex E. Junga
Many studies of creative cognition with a neuroimaging component now
exist; what do they say about where and how creativity arises in the
brain? We reviewed 45 brain-imaging studies of creative cognition. We
found little clear evidence of overlap in their results. Nearly as many
different tests were used as there were studies; this test diversity makes
it impossible to interpret the different findings across studies with any
confidence. Our conclusion is that creativity research would benefit from
psychometrically informed revision, and the addition of neuroimaging
methods designed to provide greater spatial localization of function.
Without such revision in the behavioral measures and study designs, it is
hard to see the benefit of imaging. We set out eight suggestions in a
manifesto for taking creativity research forward.
