In cognitive science, creative ideas are defined as original and feasible solutions in
response to problems. A common proposal is that creative ideas are generated across …

The use of constraints to foster creativity has been studied in different domains, but has been
generally ignored in sports training and the learning process of movement-based practices …

Neurocognitive research is pertinent to developing mechanistic models of how humans
generate creative thoughts. Such models usually overlook the role of the motor cortex in …

Objective Some evidence suggests an association between creativity and adaptability; yet
this relationship has not been tested empirically. The present study aimed at testing …

Approaches to foster motor creativity differ according to whether creative movements are
assumed to be enacted creative ideas, or solutions to emerging motor problems that arise …

In this paper we present a model of creativity captured as exploration 13 and production of
novel and functionally efficient behaviors, based on the 14 statistical mechanics of …

A hallmark of skilled motor performance is behavioral flexibility–ie, experts can not only
produce a movement pattern to reliably and efficiently achieve a given task outcome, but …

We evaluated the dual-pathway model to creativity in a motor context. The model describes
separate flexibility and persistence pathways that are affected differently by breadth of …

Creativity is associated with finding novel, surprising, and useful solutions. We argue that
creative cognitive processes, divergent thinking, abstraction, and improvisation are …

Behavioural innovations have become central to our thinking about how animals adjust to
changing environments. It is now well established that animals vary in their ability to …
