Tier 2 Scientific Knowledge
Restricted to Students in the Honors Program.
For over the last seventy years scientists have explored the personality traits, mental processes, and brain functions that enable people to be creative. In this course we will survey a variety of different theories of creativity drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and sociology. We will consider artistic, scientific, and cultural creativity, making extensive use of reading and film to encounter a diverse sampling of creators and their products directly and through the minds of their students and scholars. You will also use your own creative processes and work with a small group of students to study the lives and creative processes and products of individuals at work today. For more information about the class please see the Loyola news article found here (www.luc.edu/psychology/homenews/story/creativity.html).
