“…As described by Stein (1953), "creative thinking is born from a combination of newly existing materials or knowledge, which when added include brand new elements" [7]. According to Runco (2012), "Creativity requires the fulfillment of two criteria -originality/novelty and broadly understood effectiveness, efficiency of the generated in the creative process, creative products" [8]. Also, Rybakovsky (2006) accepts as the definition of creativity: "The ability to create new, socially useful or influential ideas" [9].…”

“…This in turn supports the idea that creativity is associated with some higher mental processes: " When giving into the hands of the chimpanzee a paintbrush, we can expect over time that the chimpanzee will paint its new, previously unseen image. It will never be, however, a creative work " [8].…”

“…As it turns out, no particular domination of any of the hemispheres, but close cooperation between them and the mesolimbic system enables its outstanding development (Mayseless et al, 2015) [10]. Rybakovsky (2006) considers the formulation of new ideas equally important in the process of creating, for which mainly frontal and temporal lobes are responsible, as well as the so-called creative impulse.…”

“…Jak opisuje Stein (1953): "Myślenie kreatywne rodzi się z połączenia na nowo istniejących już materiałów albo wiedzy, które po zsumowaniu zawierają elementy zupeł-nie nowe" [7]. Według Runco (2012) "Kreatywność wymaga spełnienia dwóch kryteriów -oryginalności/nowości, oraz szeroko rozumianej skuteczności, efektywności wytwarzanych w kreatywnym procesie twór-czym produktów" [8]. Również Rybakowski (2006) za definicję kreatywności uważa: "Zdolność do tworzenia nowych, społecznie użytecznych lub wpływowych idei" [9].…”

The theory linking the development of mental disorders with the processes of human evolution assumes that these disorders may be the result of a side effect of natural and sexual selection processes. Creativity is one of the adaptive features associated with the increased incidence of psychopathological symptoms (as compared to the general population). In this review paper, the definition of creativity has been characterized, and contemporary existing theories on its background, have been presented. Also, the paper describes the relationship between creativity and the presence of psychopathological symptoms. Special attention has been paid to the relationship between creativity and bipolar disorder. The research results prove the existence of a correlation between a high level of creativity and a higher prevalence of psychopathological symptoms, particularly concerning the symptoms of bipolar disorder spectrum.

The brain structure and language skills of children are understood to be in a phase of rapid development and are especially represented by key phonological‐semantic expressions that actively develop with age. In the present study, resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging data from 85 healthy children were retrospectively analyzed. Correlations of the phonological processing and speeded naming of specific brain regions of interest with age were assessed using the fractional amplitude of low‐frequency fluctuations (fALFF), degree centrality (DC), regional homogeneity (ReHo), and chain mediation effect analysis. Our results suggest that the developmental stages of children's posterior cingulate gyrus (PCC) and right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) mediate language development in children. Additionally, the functional similarity of the bilateral IFG triangular part was noted during development as was the stronger activation and higher local and whole‐brain connectivity of the left IFG triangular part. Moreover, the PCC displayed stronger activation and higher local connectivity in the same period. Our data suggest that the development of the PCC and right IFG and the similarity of bilateral IFG function are important imaging markers of phonological processing and speeded naming in children and that the PCC and IFG show a more comprehensive development with age.

Developmental cognitive neuroscience studies tend to show that the prefrontal brain regions (known to be involved in inhibitory control) are activated during the generation of creative ideas. In the present article, we discuss how a dual-process model of creativity-much like the ones proposed to account for decision making and reasoning-could broaden our understanding of the processes involved in creative ideas generation. When generating creative ideas, children, adolescents, and adults tend to follow "the path of least resistance" and propose solutions that are built on the most common and accessible knowledge within a specific domain, leading to fixation effect. In line with recent theory of typical cognitive development, we argue that the ability to resist the spontaneous activation of design heuristics, to privilege other types of reasoning, might be critical to generate creative ideas at all ages. In the present review, we demonstrate that inhibitory control at all ages can actually support creativity. Indeed, the ability to think of something truly new and original requires first inhibiting spontaneous solutions that come to mind quickly and unconsciously and then exploring new ideas using a generative type of reasoning.
