What if creativity is inhibited by Executive Function?
22/100 What if creativity is inhibited by Executive Function?
The more I thought about The Beatles documentary the more I was reminded of this quote. As someone who has spent the last 20 years teaching art to kids it is without question to me that kids are the most creative people I know. Knowing how most kids are just developing theIr Executive Function part of their brain makes me wonder if this is part of what allows them to be so creative. In practical terms, if kids don’t have all the limitations of schedule, goals, and tasks that frees up their brain to think in a different, more creative way. What if some people as they become grownups with Executive Function weakness are able to hold onto that ability that kids have for creative thinking? What if the flip side of Executive Dysfunction is creativity?
