Centre for Research in Expertise Acquisition, Training and Excellence (CREATE)

Description

Achieving high levels of performance expertise is a complex process involving a range of factors: practice is one piece of the puzzle, naturally, but individual differences such as aptitudes, interests, motivation and creativity are also involved. In the CREATE Research hub, the focus is upon factors for excellence in cognitively challenging pursuits, creative problem-solving and artistic performance.

Topic areas include:

  • Creativity
  • Insight and the Aha! moment
  • Imagination and Visual imagery
  • Drivers of performance excellence and expertise development (e.g. in music, theatre, puzzle-solving, board-games, memory challenges and medicine)
  • Hobbies, motivations and characteristics of niche populations
  • Problem-solving and Fluid Intelligence
  • Musical performance
  • Choreography and Dance
  • Stage Fright and Performance Anxiety
  • Time perception and those with ‘natural’ time-keeping abilities
