Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, questions of intelligence and creativity have become more complex, and research on these areas has become more challenging. Correspondingly, exploring the intersection between intelligence and creativity from a multidisciplinary perspective has become a research challenge across a variety of fields.
The Journal of Intelligence has launched a Special Issue with the theme “The Intersection of Creativity and Intelligence: Multidisciplinary Perspectives” that aims to explore the complex relationship between creativity and intelligence, two core human abilities, and gather insights from multiple disciplines such as psychology, education, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and science of organizational behaviour to promote theoretical integration and innovative development in this field. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
(1) Creativity research integrated with artificial intelligence;
(2) The information processing mechanisms of creativity;
(3) Linking dimensions of intelligence and cognition (e.g., memory, attention, and metacognition) to creativity;
(4) Shared cognitive and neural foundations of intelligence and creativity;
(5) Other studies involving the intersection of intelligence and creativity.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
