Meaning in life is tied to the stories people tell about their lives. We explore whether one timeless story—the Hero’s Journey—might make people’s lives feel more meaningful. This enduring story appears across history and cultures, and provides a template for ancient myths (e.g., Beowulf) and blockbuster books and movies (e.g., Harry Potter). Eight...
Forward flow is a new measure that quantifies free thought and predicts creativity (Gray et al., 2019). In his comment, Rossiter (2020) raises some conceptual and measurement concerns about this measure. We believe these concerns are specious, resting on fundamental misunderstandings about our aim and approach. This reply clarifies the nature of fo...
When the human mind is free to roam, its subjective experience is characterized by a continuously evolving stream of thought. Although there is a technique that captures people’s streams of free thought—free association—its utility for scientific research is undermined by two open questions: 1) How can streams of thought be quantified? and 2) Do su...

... Come è stato notato da alcuni studiosi in occasione dell'adattamento emergenziale dei corsi universitari in modalità online a causa dell'epidemia da Covid-19 (Rapanta et al., 2020;Crawford et al., 2020;Huang et al., 2020), i docenti universitari avrebbero sofferto in particolare della difficoltà di stabilire il legame tra i contenuti di apprendimento -più o meno attinenti l'area del sapere disciplinare -, l'allestimento di ambienti di apprendimento, per mezzo delle tecnologie digitali -si pensi all'organizzazione e la gestione di una piattaforma di Learning Management System (LMS) -e la scelta di attività motivanti per favorire i processi di apprendimento degli studenti. La capacità di stabilire simili legami riguarderebbe una macro-competenza complessa, a cavallo tra l'abilità della progettazione del percorso di istruzione (instructional design -ID) e l'abilità più specifica di scelta degli strumenti di apprendimenti (learning design -LD) (Bates, 2019;Goodyear, 2015). ...
... Besides classic broad retrieval tasks, creative ideation has also been related to the retrieval from memory of more remote, weak associations indicated by higher semantic distance 115 -a computational measure of concept dissimilarity. In free association and association chaining, the generation of more distant verbs 116 , adjectives 49 and even unrelated words 117 , as well as the production of more remote associations, is associated with higher creative performance 118,119 . Finally, analyses of creative ideation performance over time revealed distinct strategies that guide search during idea generation (clustering and switching; exploration and exploitation) 48,97,120,121 , again pointing to the strategic nature of this process. ...
