Creativity is characterized by divergent thinking. The cognitive approach to creativity emphasizes the processes involved in producing effective novelty, as well as the control mechanisms that regulate novelty production, and the structures that result. The creative cognition approach is deeply rooted in its parent disciplines of cognitive psychology and cognitive science. People need a minimum level of intelligence to be creative, but not all people who get high scores on intelligence tests are creative.

The theory is compelling and the experiments ingenious, in an area that is very difficult to investigate. Creativity is the ability to generate novel, valuable ideas. Defining Creativity. The program of study is designed to encourage the personal creativity of professionals and provide them with knowledge and skills to foster creativity and effective learning in others. Creative Cognition presents what is probably the most nearly complete and thoroughly tested of the existing theories of creativity based upon the principles of cognitive science. The EPSY master’s program emphasizing Creativity & Cognition is a 36-hour program, offered online, is focused on increasing one’s understanding of creative thinking and learning.
