“…Physical exercise can develop the potential of the brain and play a positive role in promoting creative thinking ability [ 51 , 52 ]. Aerobic exercise [ 53 ], fast walking [ 54 ] and other sports can significantly improve students’ creativity and have an important impact on their academic performance. All these are consistent with the research results of this paper, whereby physical exercise can promote creative thinking.…”

Background: With the development of educational philosophy, physical exercise is considered to be an important factor in the development of individual cognitive abilities in adolescents. However, the effects of physical exercise on non-cognitive abilities in adolescents remain inadequate. Objective: This study examined the effect of physical exercise on non-cognitive ability and further examined the differences in this effect in different groups. Methods: Survey data on non-cognitive ability, physical exercise and covariates were collected in the China Education Panel Survey (2014–2015) from a nationally representative sample of adolescents (n = 7904) in the eighth (follow-up) grade. Results: The results show that, after controlling for the influence of other factors, physical exercise has a promoting effect on six non-cognitive abilities—social behavior (p < 0.001), communication ability (p < 0.01), perseverance (p < 0.05), school adaptation (p < 0.001), educational expectation (p < 0.01) and creative thinking (p < 0.01)—and there is no significant effect on emotional control (p > 0.05). Furthermore, the development of non-cognitive ability in physical exercise shows certain group differences. Conclusions: There are gender differences in the performance of non-cognitive ability. Girls perform better than boys in non-cognitive ability. Physical exercise is an important means to develop non-cognitive ability, which indicates that non-cognitive ability has plasticity in adolescence. Future intervention may improve the non-cognitive ability of Chinese adolescents by increasing physical exercise.

“…Apart from brain stimulation, creative ideation performance has also been modified and enhanced by many different approaches reaching from cognitive stimulation (Fink et al, 2010; Fink et al, 2012), creativity-programs (Benedek et al, 2006; Faßwald-Magnet et al, 2014; Fink et al, 2006; Fink et al, 2015; Garaigordobil, 2006), sport interventions (Steinberg et al, 1997; Tuckman & Hinkle, 1986), visuo-coordinative exercises (Tilp et al, 2020), unilateral muscle contractions (Goldstein et al, 2010; Rominger et al, 2014), affective stimulation (Fink et al, 2011), and listening to music (Campion & Levita, 2014), meditation and yoga (Bollimbala et al, 2020; Colzato et al, 2012). Importantly, as most studies focused on short-term intervention effects (within a session or several days) that were observed in classical laboratory approaches, more medium- to long-term effects such as developmental aspects have seldom been investigated (Barbot, 2019).…”

Abstract. Creative ideas in daily life show substantial variation in quality. Yet, most studies investigate the creative ideation process in highly controlled laboratory contexts, which challenges the ecological validity of creativity research findings. In this article, we advocate the use of ambulatory assessments of creative ideation to gain deeper insight into the variability of ideation processes (between- and within-subjects) in everyday life. We demonstrate this approach by the example of the ambulatory battery of creativity (ABC), which constitutes a reliable and valid approach to assess divergent thinking ability in the verbal and figural domain in everyday life context. Furthermore, it differentiates between-person and within-person variation of creative ideation performance. The first part of this paper will shortly describe the general approach using ABC as an example. In the second part, we use the 7 C’s heuristic to explore applications and implications of this novel method for creativity research. We focus on four C’s with special relevance for ambulatory assessment: Creator, Creating, Context, and Curricula. To this end, we review the findings of strongly controlled laboratory studies and discuss and illustrate applications of the ambulatory assessment. We conclude that the assessment of creative ideation performance in the field might help move the spotlight of creative ideation research from the laboratory to more naturalistic settings. This would increase the ecological validity of creative ideation research and facilitate fresh or unprecedented perspectives on past and future questions on a person’s creative potential and its moment-to-moment fluctuation.

“…Most of these (n = 6) focused on cognitive states such as self-control states manipulated through ego depletion (Bertrams & Englert, 2019;Taylor, 2021), relaxed or mindful states, manipulated through a yoga session (Bollimbala et al, 2020) or a massage session (Meier et al, 2020), or the elicitation of a state of "specific curiosity", manipulated through leaving participants curious about how a magic illusion was accomplished (Hagtvedt et al, 2019).…”

“…This last category was added to account for the studies examining actions or habits which promoted participants' creative performance. The factors examined included physical behaviours that were initiated by participants through deliberate practice such as behaviours involved in professional music or professional sport practice and their impact on creativity (Hüttermann et al, 2019, Palmiero et al, 2020 or the impact of spontaneous physical activity (e.g., a dance session, Bollimbala et al, 2020). The remaining studies in this category focused on cognitive behaviour by examining self-initiated rather than experimentally manipulated information-processing behaviour.…”

This chapter presents an interdisciplinary scoping review examining overlaps and differences in the way innovation and creativity is conceived and studied in the respective fields of innovation management and human experimental psychology research. The review mapped selected studies against five pre-existing higher-order categories of creative behaviour antecedents. Notably, we found that user innovation research characterises and seeks out individual creativity as a self-initiated, deliberate, and independent endeavour in personal contexts. Experimental psychology research, by contrast, often studies creativity using activities that are initiated by the experimenters rather than the participants in laboratory contexts.
