Morten Friis-Olivarius

Research output: Book/ReportPhD thesis

Abstract

The overarching objective of this doctoral dissertation is to advance our understanding of the role of associations in creative thought and creativity training. While research in associative abilities and creativity has a long history and lies at the heart of many prevailing theories of creativity, the exact details of how associations are formed and their involvement in creativity remains largely unexplored. The dissertation contains three original manuscripts:

Ramsøy, Hartwig Siebner: Viewing objects activates the creative mind. III: Balder Onarheim & Morten Friis-Olivarius (2013): Applying the neuroscience of creativity to creativity training.
