集中注意力才能想出創意的問題解決方法嗎？
一項最新研究會顛覆你我的認知
哈佛商學院教授泰瑞莎．艾瑪拜爾（Teresa Amabile）針對創意進行大規模調查，發現許多結果與我們過去的認知不太一樣。一起一探究竟！
用創意的方式解決問題在學校或生活中都很有幫助，但阻絕所有使人分心的事物是增進這項技能最好的方式嗎？哈佛大學和多倫多大學的科學家說不是。
在一百個受測學生中，那些創意分數拿最高的人通常專注力分數拿最低。因為他們比較不能控制他們的注意力，他們比較有可能想到有原創性的點子。但這並不表示參加考試時最好的方式是做白日夢。只有在你花時間思考並發展那些零散的想法時，注意力不集中才能產生創意。
INTRODUTION:
A Creative Look at the Facts
Creative problem solving can be a great help in school and life, but is shutting out all distractions the best way to improve this skill? Scientists at Harvard and the University of Toronto say no.
Out of 100 students tested, those who got the highest creativity scores usually had the lowest focus scores. Because they are less able to control their attention, they are more likely to come across original ideas. This doesn't mean that the best way to take a test is to daydream, though. Inattention only leads to creativity when you take the time to think about and develop those stray thoughts.
