Q2. What is the role of executive control networks in the prediction of divergent thinking?
The executive control network plays a key role in the manipulation of information in working memory, inhibition of prepotent responses, and maintenance of higher-order goals during task execution (Niendam et al., 2012).
Q3. Why did the researchers focus their AUT assessment on the creative quality of ideas?
”Because the authors were primarily interested in assessing relations between intelligence and creativecognition, the authors focused their divergent thinking measurement on the creative quality of ideas.
Q4. How many nodes were selected to improve comparison with the prior work?
To improve comparison with their prior work, the authors selected a network parcellation with a comparable number of nodes (i.e., 300) with coverage of the seven major canonical intrinsic connectivity networks (i.e., executive control, salience/ventral attention, default, dorsal attention, visual, somatomotor, and limbic).
Q5. What is the importance of visuospatial intelligence in creative thinking?
Although less explored in the creativity literature, visuospatial intelligence may be particularly important for problem-solving during divergent tasks that require imaginal motor planning (Aziz-Zadeh, Liew, & Dandekar, 2013).
