“…Indeed, another selective effect of arm movements was suggested. In a recent study [39], participants who performed arm movements tracing out large circles generated more original ideas (i.e., originality) than those who traced out small ones, but the total number of generated ideas (i.e., fluency) was comparable between conditions, suggesting that the largeness or divergence represented by arm movements could selectively influence originality. Therefore, kinematic properties such as curvature and size may determine the aspect of divergent creative thinking that is affected.…”

Bodily movements representing abstract concepts (e.g., fluidity) can affect divergent creative thinking. A recent study showed that participants who performed fluid arm movements by tracing curved line-drawings (the fluid condition) subsequently generated a larger number of more original alternative uses for newspapers than did those who traced angular linedrawings (the non-fluid condition). This suggests that fluid movements enhance fluency and originality in divergent creative thinking. To replicate these findings, we employed the same task with a larger Japanese sample. Participants in the fluid condition generated more uses for newspapers than in the non-fluid condition, regardless of confounding variables: mood, subjective difficulty of the tracing, and daily use of newspapers. In contrast to previous findings, there were no effects on originality. Our results suggest that fluidity enacted by arm movements robustly enhances creative fluency, although other factors (e.g., culture) could interfere with its effect on originality.

“…According to the theoretical framework of embodied cognition, human cognitive processes are grounded in bodily interactions with the physical world (Wilson, 2002;Waller, 2014). Consistent with this framework, much research has demonstrated sensorimotor processes' role in a wide range of cognitive functions (e.g., Glenberg and Muto et al 10.3389/fnagi.2022.1025667 Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience 02 frontiersin.org Kaschak, 2002;Dijkstra et al, 2007;Muto et al, 2018;Nagai et al, 2019). In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to incorporating and validating the embodied cognition framework in aging research (for reviews, see Vallet, 2015;Costello and Bloesch, 2017;Kuehn et al, 2018).…”

This study focuses on changes in implicit motor imagery during advanced aging and these changes’ co-occurrences with physical motor deficits. We administered a mental rotation (MR) task with letters, hands, and feet to 28 young adults (20–27 years) and to 71 older adults (60–87 years), and assessed motor skills (gait mobility and hand dexterity) and neuropsychological performance. Compared to young adults, older adults showed lower MR performance for all stimuli and stronger biomechanical constraint effects on both hand and foot rotation. Moreover, the foot biomechanical constraint effect continued to increase during late adulthood, and declines in hand and foot motor imagery emerged at earlier old ages than declines in visual imagery. These results first demonstrated distinct aging trajectories of hand motor imagery, foot motor imagery, and visual imagery. Exploratory partial correlation analysis for older adults showed positive associations of low-level perceptual-motor skills (Trail Making Test-A performance) with hand and foot MR performance and positive associations of mobility (Timed Up and Go test performance) with foot and letter MR performance. These associations exhibited somewhat different patterns from those of young adults and raised the possibility that age-related declines in motor (and visual) imagery co-occur with declines in motor functioning.
