Washington, Jan 24: There are some metaphors about creative thinking, which literally 'work' when acted out in real life, researchers say.
The authors of the new paper were inspired by metaphors about creativity found in boardrooms to movie studios to scientific laboratories around the world and previous linkages established between mind and body.
Angela Leung of Singapore Management University and her coauthors from the University of Michigan, Cornell University, and others wondered if the same was true of metaphors about creativity.
"Creativity is a highly sought-after skill," they wrote.
"Metaphors of creative thinking abound in everyday use."
Their experiments went beyond metaphors that.
