Movement helps us think creatively. This insight is over 2000 years old and was known to the philosophers in ancient Greece. However, what is the connection between movement and cognition form a scientific point of view? Our research shows that it is not movement per se that helps us think more flexibly, says neuroscientist Dr. Barbara Handel from Julius-Maximilians-Universitat Wurzburg (JMU) in Bavaria, Germany. Instead, the freedom to make self-determined movements is responsible for it. Accordingly, even small movements while sitting can have the same positive effects on creative thinking.
