Les promenades stimulent la créativité
Pour en savoir plus L'auteur Sébastien Bohler est journaliste à Cerveau&Psycho Téléphones portables, ordinateurs, télévision, tablettes ou smartphones : les nouvelles technologies soumettent le cerveau humain à des stimulations sans cesse plus nombreuses. La capacité d'attention devient réactive, et non plus autonome : il s'agit de réagir à des stimulus externes, plutôt que de pratiquer l'introspection. Les psychologues parlent aujourd'hui de » vols d'attention « pour qualifier ce monde qui capte notre attention à chaque coin de rue, devant chaque écran, au gré de chaque sonnerie de téléphone qui retentit, ou d'une alerte email qui interrompt une tâche en cours. Du coup, des psychologues de l’Université du Kansas ont monté une expérience où ils ont demandé à deux groupes d’une trentaine de participants de se lancer dans quatre jours de randonnée dans les grands parcs américains.

Boost Creativity: 7 Unusual Psychological Techniques
Looking for the last piece of the puzzle? Try these 7 research-based techniques for increasing creativity. Everyone is creative: we can all innovate given time, freedom, autonomy, experience to draw on, perhaps a role model to emulate and the motivation to get on with it. But there are times when even the most creative person gets bored, starts going round in circles, or hits a cul-de-sac. So here are 7 unusual creativity boosters that research has shown will increase creativity: 1. People often recommend physical separation from creative impasses by taking a break, but psychological distance can be just as useful. Participants in one study who were primed to think about the source of a task as distant, solved twice as many insight problems as those primed with proximity to the task (Jia et al., 2009). ◊ For insight: Try imagining your creative task as distant and disconnected from your current location. 2. Like psychological distance, chronological distance can also boost creativity. 3. 4.
How Constraints Drive Creativity
"Constraints drive creativity." You’ve probably heard this quote (or some variation of it) before. I see it all the time. But I always find myself asking: “What is it about constraints that make us more creative?” Is it a mindset we get into, that forces us to think deeper about the underlying problem we’re trying to solve? While I like to think that on our very best days designers might actually reach enlightenment, I think the answer is more simple than that. When designing, the act of removal changes everything. But the real odd bit about this is that it really hasn’t made us more creative, just more focused.
Creativity and madness: The Abnormal Psychology of Creativity
By Cat Robson Just what is ‘normal’ for a creative person? After trying clumsily to conform to what others consider normal for much of my life, I’m beginning to appreciate my own moods and personality. Are creative people like us ‘abnormal’? Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, who was hospitalized several times for psychiatric illness, remarked: “A German once said to me: ‘But if you could rid yourself of many of your troubles.’ No one chooses severe emotional distress. Writing about Munch’s claim, Jamison (1993, p. 241) noted: This is a common concern. In addition, when experiences like these are labeled as ‘symptoms’ of pathology, creative people can develop a skewed sense of self, and a narrowed view of the possibilities of human experience.

Why we need eccentricity
If we ever meet, you might notice my hand slip down the back of my trousers to caress my buttocks. I also have a habit of going off at inappropriate tangents during conversation and am borderline obsessive about my chickens and their laying schedule, even though I haven't eaten an egg for over ten years. Odd, you might think, but as far as eccentric behaviour goes all this is so mild as to barely register. Eccentricity. We all know it when we see it. Chances are high some of you reading this are eccentric, and we British are quietly proud to lead the world in producing Grade-A loons. Counterintuitively, for many assume that eccentricity is one short step from serious mental disorder, Weeks's subjects suffered less from mental illnesses such as depression than the majority of the population. And those are just some of the personal benefits. Mill's eccentrics are the people who see problems from new and unexpected angles; whose very oddity allows them to conjure innovative solutions.
