Creativity may be highly individual, dependent on a person's genetic and psychological makeup. The family and socio-cultural environment might also play a role into how a person's creativity develops. For example, some cultures may actively encourage creativity by valuing individuality. Creative expression could be linked to emotional expression. A person whose parents were artists, musicians, or writers might encourage children to express themselves in similar ways.
Synthesizing ideas that already exist is the essence of creativity. Rarely do creative ideas take place in the absence of some stimulating concept. A triggering word, sound, or visual image can induce a novel concept. That concept may lead to something productive, such as an idea for a new engine for a car. Therefore, creativity becomes meaningful when an idea is expressed in practical ways. An artist eventually paints or sculpts; a writer eventually designs a story, and an engineer a building. Other forms of creativity...
When faced with a conundrum like a cure for HIV / AIDS or cancer, scientists need to think as creatively as possible for solutions. Using a limited number of variables in the problem-solving process means reducing the chances of coming up with a meaningful cure.
Creativity is expressed in simple ways too, such as in social interactions. Quick-witted persons are more creative in their communications than those who are shy, for example. Just as with any expressive art, science or design, communications depend on the practical application of creative thought.

Other neuroscientists instead stress processes: like macros for the brain. Neuroscience, in elucidating specific brain structures for different thought processes and types of intelligence, can help scientists develop more sophisticated systems of artificial intelligence. Similarly, neuroscientists can possibly promote the development of pharmaceutical or natural interventions that aid cognitive processes like mathematical or musical ability. If neuroscientists can discover ways to increase conscious awareness of the structures of the brain
traditionally accustomed to associating conflicts with negative feelings, conflicts can actually have positive effects on individuals and on groups as a whole in particular circumstances. Some groups experience trouble in progressing in certain directions that they express interest in. Simply sticking to the same thinking that they had when the group was formed can reflect negatively on a group's accomplishments. By focusing on strategies that it is accustomed to
Wl Gore The organization that I have chosen to study is WL Gore. The company specializes in one technology -- a fluropolymer -- and finding adaptations for that technology to create consumer products, which it then either produces or licenses. The company's best-known product is Gore-Tex fabric, which is used in winter clothing and ski apparel, but there are many other products as well including guitar strings, Glide dental floss and
They were not informed of the reason for the code. They were asked "(a) How similar do you think this person is to you? (1 _ not at all similar to 11 _ very similar) and (b) How much do you think this person will like you? (1 _ not at all to 11 _ very much)" and other like preliminary questions to see if subliminal likes were noticed

What are the major elements and dimensions of culture in this region? 2. How are these elements and dimensions integrated by local conducting business in the nation? 3. How do both of the above items compare with U.S. culture and business? 4. What are the implications for
Of course, Spears is still very young, and may face numerous future changes. However, at this time, she appears to have found some stability. Cognitive While Spears spent much of her early life in the public spotlight, it is actually difficult to assess her early cognitive development. This should come as no surprise when one looks at various theories of cognitive development. For example, Piaget discusses cognitive development, but all of
