DOI: 10.1002/hbm.26029
Abstract: The dual‐process theory that two different systems of thought coexist in creative thinking has attracted considerable attention. In the field of creative thinking, divergent thinking (DT) is the ability to produce multiple solutions to open‐ended… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/pchj.400
Abstract: In contrast to the conventional reasoning process that relies heavily on cognitive control, an individual's creativity may show an increasing trend when the cognitive control function is suppressed. A typical situation in which this occurs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00426-022-01678-8
Abstract: The role of executive functioning in creative thinking is under debate. Some authors suggested that increased inhibitory control, a component of executive functioning, is detrimental to creative solutions, whereas others argued that executive functions are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2021.104905
Abstract: Episodic retrieval plays a functional-adaptive role in supporting divergent thinking, the ability to creatively combine different pieces of information. However, the same constructive memory process that provides a functional-adaptive benefit can also leave memory prone… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jecp.2021.105091
Abstract: Creativity is typically measured using divergent thinking tasks where participants are asked to generate multiple responses following a prompt. However, being able to generate responses captures only a partial picture of creativity. Convergent thinking, in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.03.001
Abstract: ABSTRACT During the course of divergent thinking (DT), the number of generated ideas decreases while the originality of ideas increases. This phenomenon is labeled as serial order effect in DT. The present study investigated whether… read more here.
