Problem-solving often requires creativity and is critical in everyday life. However, the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying creative problem-solving remain poorly understood. Two have been highlighted: formation of new connections among problem elements insight solving, characterized by sudden realization a solution. In this study, we investigated EEG activity during modified version remote associates test, classical task that finding word connecting three unrelated words. This allowed us to explore brain correlates associated with semantic remoteness (by varying solution across trials) solving (identified as Eurêka moment reported participants).

Abstract Creative ideas likely result from searching and combining semantic memory knowledge, yet the mechanisms acting on to yield creative remain unclear. Here, we identified neurocognitive correlates of search components related abilities. We designed an associative fluency task based polysemous words distinguished two clustering switching between different meanings words. Clustering correlated with divergent thinking, while ability combine remote associates. Furthermore, structure executive abilities, was predicted by connectivity default, control, salience neural networks. In contrast, relied interactions salience, attentional Our results suggest that captures control processes guiding whereas may capture controlled for persistent search, alternations exploratory focused attention support creativity.

Cognitive neuroscience has gained insight into covert states using experience sampling. Traditionally, this approach focused on off-task states. However, task-relevant are also maintained via processes. Our study examined whether sampling can provide insights goal-relevant that support task performance. To address question, we developed a neural state space, dimensions of brain function variation, allows correlates overt and to be in common analytic space. We use describe activity during performance, its relation identified sampling, links between individual variation established deliberate focus was linked faster target detection, underlying experience-and detection-were associated with patterns emphasizing the fronto-parietal network.

Tulving (1972) characterized semantic memory as a vast repository of meaning that underlies language and many other cognitive processes. This perspective on lexical conceptual knowledge galvanized new era research undertaken by numerous fields, each with their own idiosyncratic methods terminology. For example, ‘concept’ has different meanings in philosophy, linguistics, psychology. As such, fundamental constructs used to delineate theories remain underspecified and/or opaque. Weak construct specificity is among the leading causes replication crisis now facing psychology related fields. Term ambiguity hinders cross-disciplinary communication, falsifiability, incremental theory-building. Numerous subdisciplines (e.g., vision, affective neuroscience) have recently addressed these limitations via development consensus-based guidelines definitions. The project follow represents our effort produce multidisciplinary glossary consisting succinct definitions, background, principled dissenting views, ratings agreement, subjective confidence for 17 target abstractness, abstraction, concreteness, concept, embodied cognition, event semantics, lexical-semantic, modality, representation, control, feature, simulation, distance, dimension).

Associative thinking plays a major role in creativity, as it involves the ability to link distant concepts. Yet, neural mechanisms allowing combine associates creative tasks remain poorly understood. We investigated whole-brain functional connectivity patterns related combining remote associations for thinking. Using connectome predictive modeling approach, we examined connecting close and Combination Association Task (CAT). Brain networks predicting CAT performance showed contributions from brain mostly Default Mode Network, likely associative processes required all trials of task.

The default mode network (DMN) typically deactivates to external tasks, yet supports semantic cognition. It comprises medial temporal (MT), core, and frontotemporal (FT) subsystems, but its functional organization is unclear: the requirement for perceptual coupling versus decoupling, input modality (visual/verbal), type of information (social/spatial), control demands all potentially affect recruitment. We examined effect these factors on activation deactivation DMN subsystems during cognition, across four task-based human magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) datasets, localized responses in whole-brain state space defined by gradients intrinsic connectivity. FT showed consistent with a central role domains, modalities, although it was most responsive abstract, verbal tasks; this subsystem uniquely more “tuned” states characterized increases both when retrieval were higher.

One of the most common distinctions in long-term memory is that between semantic (i.e., general world knowledge) and episodic recollection contextually specific events from one's past). However, emerging cognitive neuroscience data suggest a surprisingly large overlap neural correlates memory. Moreover, personal memories knowledge about self life) have been studied little do not easily fit into standard semantic-episodic dichotomy. Here, we used fMRI to record brain activity while 48 participants verified statements concerning facts, autobiographical repeated events, unique events. In multivariate analysis, all four types involved within network bilaterally (e.g., frontal pole, paracingulate gyrus, medial cortex, middle/superior temporal precuneus, posterior cingulate, angular gyrus) some areas lobe.
