“…Given its central role, there has been an ever-growing interest in studying the neural basis of creative cognition. Although initial neuroimaging studies focused on revealing the contribution of individual brain regions to different aspects of creative thinking (Dietrich, 2004;Saggar et al, 2017Saggar et al, , 2015, in recent years, this focus has shifted towards examining the interaction between multiple brain regions (as a network) during creative thinking (Beaty et al, 2019(Beaty et al, , 2017Maillet et al, 2019;Saggar et al, 2019). However, data-driven evidence is still needed to confirm whether creative thinking depends on a single brain network or an interplay between multiple networks.…”

Despite substantial progress in the quest of demystifying the brain basis of creativity, several questions remain open. One such issue concerns the relationship between two latent cognitive modes during creative thinking, i.e., deliberate goal-directed cognition and spontaneous thought generation. Although an interplay between deliberate and spontaneous thinking is often indirectly implicated in the creativity literature (e.g., dual-process models), a bottom-up data-driven validation of the cognitive processes associated with creative thinking is still lacking. Here, we attempted to capture the latent modes of creative thinking by utilizing a data-driven approach on a novel continuous multitask paradigm (CMP) that widely sampled a hypothetical two-dimensional cognitive plane of deliberate and spontaneous thinking in a single fMRI session. The CMP consisted of eight task blocks ranging from undirected mind wandering to goal-directed working memory task, while also including two of the widely used creativity tasks, i.e., alternate uses task (AUT) and remote association task (RAT). Using data-driven eigen-connectivity (EC) analysis on the multitask whole-brain functional connectivity (FC) patterns, we embedded the multitask FCs into a low-dimensional latent space. The first two latent components, as revealed by the EC analysis, broadly mapped onto the two cognitive modes of deliberate and spontaneous thinking, respectively. Further, in this low-dimensional space, both creativity tasks were located in the upper right corner of high deliberate and spontaneous thinking (creative cognitive space). Neuroanatomically, the creative cognitive space was represented by not only increased intra-network connectivity within executive control and default mode networks, but also by a higher inter-network coupling between the two. Further, individual differences reflected in the low-dimensional connectivity embeddings were related to differences in deliberate and spontaneous thinking abilities. Altogether, using a continuous multitask paradigm and data-driven approach, we provide direct empirical evidence for the contribution of both deliberate and spontaneous modes of cognition during creative thinking.

“…Hal ini menyebabkan anak menjadi lebih aktif dan kreatif dalam mengerjakan kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan kognitif. Kemampuan kognitif anak yang berkembang baik akan mempengaruhi kreativitas anak pula (Bunce, 2021;Saggar et al, 2019). Karakteristik ciri individu kreatif yaitu memiliki inisiatif, imajinatif, memiliki minat, mandiri dalam berpikir, rasa ingin tahu yang tinggi, jiwa petualangan, penuh semangat, berani, percaya diri, dan berdani dalam berpendapat serta keyakinan (Oztop & Gummerum, 2020;Piotrowski & Ida Ayu Kade Ari Widiastuti / Media Herbarium Book Meningkatkan Kreativitas Anak Usia Dini Meester, 2018).…”

Permasalahan yang terjadi saat ini yaitu masih banyak anak yang memiliki kreativitas yang kurang. Guru kurang kreatif dalam menggunakan media pembelajaran sehingga anak kurang berminat dalam mengembangkan kreativitas dalam mengerjakan tugas yang diberikan oleh guru. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menciptakan media herbarium book yang dapat meningkatkan kreativitas anak. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian pengembangan dengan menggunakan prosedur ADDIE. Subjek dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 2 orang ahli materi pembelajaran, dan 2 orang ahli media pembelajaran. Teknik yang digunakan dalam mengumpulkan data yaitu observasi, wawancara, dan kuesioner. Instrument yang digunakan dalam mengumpulkan data yaitu kuesioner. Teknik yang digunakan dalam menganalisis data yaitu analisis kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian ini yaitu penilaian dari ahli materi pembelajaran mendapatkan nilai 4 dan penilaian ahli media pembelajaran mendapatkan nilai 3,68 sehingga media herbarium book mendapatkan kategori sangat tinggi. Jadi media yang dikembangkan layak diterapkan dalam proses pembelajaran. Implikasi penelitian ini yaitu media herbarium book yang dikembangkan dapat meningkatkan semangat dan kreativitas pada anak usia dini.

“…En ocasiones para ellos lo simple es complejo, poseen un mayor número de respuestas alternativas posibles y a la vez necesitan de una precisión extrema que satisfaga los imperativos lógicos de su pensamiento. Es decir, no sólo tienen una visión más amplia, es que, además, todo ese gran número de variables y relaciones complejas deben de converger para dar sentido al mundo que les rodea 21 .…”

“…Cuando se estudian las trayectorias del desarrollo en la capacidad de pensamiento creativo durante la infancia media, se encuentra que aunque algunos niños muestran una disminución clásica en la capacidad creativa otros muestran un aumento significativo con el tiempo, estas trayectorias se asocian con un comportamiento de externalización elevado, es decir, el incumplimiento de reglas y la agresividad, un aumento de la segregación frontal lateral derecha y la especialización funcional 21 .…”

La creatividad en los niños con altas capacidades (AC) es un potencial, un proceso que requiere de un entorno favorable para su óptimo desarrollo. La expresión genética de estos niños en interacción con el ambiente puede explicar la configuración estructural y funcional de un sistema neuronal propicio para las habilidades que anteceden, apoyan y nutren la capacidad creativa. El conocimiento adecuado de las variables fisiológicas, cognitivas y emocionales que intervienen en este proceso resulta imprescindible para el desarrollo óptimo de la creatividad en un periodo donde la exposición a entornos favorables o desfavorables, o la focalización de ciertos dominios a expensas de otros, puede tener repercusiones intelectuales, sociales y emocionales determinantes. Este trabajo pretende sintetizar e integrar las últimas aportaciones empíricas sobre el desarrollo de las habilidades creativas en los niños con AC durante la infancia temprana.
