Le laboratoire CREO a récemment publié un article dans Personality and Individual Differences explorant les liens entre les tendances bipolaires et le potentiel créatif. Nos résultats mettent en lumière un décalage intéressant : les traits hypomaniaques sont associés à une plus grande perception de sa propre originalité, alors que les mesures objectives révèlent plutôt un […]

de Chantal, P.-L., Leblanc, M.-C., Houde-Labrecque, C., Labrie, C.   Cognitive control is known to support divergent thinking in adults, but findings in children remain mixed. This study examinedthe association between cognitive control—measured as a composite score from two executive function tasks—and verbal diver-gent thinking in 120 French-speaking school-aged children (aged 10 to 12 years). […]

de Chantal, P.-L., Houde-Labrecque, C., Leblanc, M.-C. & Organisciak, P.   Previous research has highlighted the benefits of real-time automated feedback in enhancing originality in divergent thinking tasks. In this preregistered study, we sought to replicate these findings, investigating whether improvements in creative ideation persist after feedback is discontinued, and assess the impact on evaluation […]

de Chantal, P.-L., Zielinska, A., Lebuda, I., Karwowski, M.   Exposure to examples of varying degrees of originality may impact creative thinking differently, resulting in either a fixation or a stimulation effect. These effects can be interpreted from an associative (bottom-up) or an executive (top-down) perspective. In this preregistered study, we examined the cognitive correlates […]

de Chantal, P.-L., Organisciak, P.   Creativity can be seen as the interplay of various cognitive factors, such as associative, executive, and metacognitive processes. Here, we test the specific role of metacognitive monitoring and how external feedback can support creative ideation. In a series of three studies, we show the benefits of a novel automated […]
