However, analysing AI systems from the perspective of creative process reveals significant limitations. Human creativity begins with finding or recognizing novel problems or challenges, which no AI system has managed. The problems AI systems address are predetermined by human users, who also provide the data and constraints bounding effective answers. Thus, human beings still carry out the vast majority of creative process-related functions for AI. Moreover, most human creativity is embodied and involves the manipulation of tools and materials. Furthermore, all human creativity is based on “tagging” information and experiences through perceptions, sensations and emotions with meanings or actions. No AI has these attributes. All human innovations also involve “untagging” preconceived meanings and actions so as to “retag” them in novel and effective ways that change how we feel, understand and act. No AI can untag or retag data, let alone act. Finally, human creative thinking is based on observing, imaging, abstracting, analogizing, playacting, modelling, body thinking, etc., of which AI systems are capable only of pattern forming and pattern recognition. Thus, the challenges for developing true AI creativity are extensive.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"35 2","pages":"Article 100097"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143610494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicated that students less frequently employ cognitive strategies focusing on human-AI interaction (e.g., inspiration, improve, combine), but that most of the ideas were produced by repeating ChatGPT's idea. This tendency suggests that, when given freedom, students may rely heavily on AI-generated suggestions rather than actively engaging in more complex cognitive processes. A key practical implication of these findings is the importance of educating students on different cognitive strategies they can adopt in collaboration with AI tools. By guiding students to employ more diverse and active cognitive strategies, ChatGPT has the potential to become a more effective tool for enhancing creative thinking in higher education.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"35 1","pages":"Article 100095"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143420185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of the current study was to extend this research and to examine the influence of international experiences on creativity in a special group of innovators and persistent creators: 146 Nobel laureates who received the prize between 2008 and 2020. Quantitative biographic analyses showed that 42 % of the Nobel laureates had either moved or traveled extensively with their families during their childhood, 24 % had studied in a country different from their home country, 25 % moved to another country after their Ph.D. to start their career at a university, and 36 % married a partner from a different country than their own. The data revealed that Nobel laureates did not have more international experiences than a comparison group of 180, non-Nobel Laureate, professors from top universities worldwide. Qualitative analyses of Nobel laureates’ speeches, using the phenomenological research method, revealed the following seven themes: (1) Belonging to a multicultural family, (2) fostering curiosity by the family, (3) learning foreign languages, (4) pursuing independence and academic freedom, (5) navigating between cultural worlds, (6) traveling as an eye-opening experience, and (7) embracing cultural differences. These findings show that Nobel laureates and the comparison group have had significant international experiences. Specifically for Nobel laureates, their accounts of these international experiences, alongside the breadth of different worldviews, customs, and norms experienced in different cultures impacted their scientific work so much so as to contribute to their creative ideas and limitless potential.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"35 1","pages":"Article 100093"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143145817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our protocol involved 136 engineering students divided into 34 groups which were provided with inspirational cubes illustrating manufacturing inventive principles or basic volumes from the Creative Mental Synthesis Task. They could manipulate these objects either in a visuo-haptic condition, or in a visuo-imaginative condition. Our results highlighted a main effect of manipulation, showing that visual-haptic condition led to higher creativity than visual-imaginative condition. We also observed several effects in favor of inspirational cubes with regard to basic volumes: significantly higher creativity, more subjective and inter-subjective facilitation behaviors, more cognitive and emotional operations. Participants also showed at an individual level a better mobilization of the multisensorial senses. Creative thinking may be stimulated when an active manipulation phase is set up before the creative production. This could contribute to improving practice for engineers, particularly for using additive manufacturing and/or during their training at school.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"35 1","pages":"Article 100092"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142757066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the last two decades, sports studies have predominantly assumed that divergent thinking (DT) is the key ingredient and have developed sport-specific DT tests to assess players’ creativity. However, a fundamental question remains: Do players who score high on sport-specific DT tests perform more creative actions on the field? The DT approach in sports has recently been challenged by the hypothesis that creative actions are primarily enabled (or limited) by players’ motor skill repertoires. Here, predictions based on the DT and motor skill approach are tested in the domain of soccer. Studies 1a and b tested male under-12 players, and Study 2 tested female under-19 players of a professional soccer club. All three studies indicated no correlation between the creativity of actions performed on the field (rated with the Consensual Assessment Technique) and players’ soccer-specific DT. In contrast, moderate to high correlations between on-field creativity and motor skills were found. These results challenge the DT approach in sports and the validity of sport-specific DT tests, highlighting the crucial role of sensorimotor skills in performing creative actions in sports or other domains in which creative performance is embodied through motor actions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"34 3","pages":"Article 100091"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142433645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Caregivers also completed questionnaires regarding their children's curiosity. Only two significant, positive correlations were found between indices of creativity and curiosity: between originality of ideas (creativity) and breadth of exploration (curiosity), and between creativity on a production-based task and parent-reported breadth of exploration (curiosity). Further, the two constructs were predicted by different child characteristics. Age was the main predictor of creativity; originality of children's ideas in two divergent thinking tasks decreased with age, while fluency and holistic ratings of production-based tasks increased. Self-esteem, in turn, was the strongest predictor of curiosity, correlating positively with several subtypes of parent-reported curiosity.
