Fourth Grade Slump: Why 9 year olds become less creative temporarily

Idea to Value

Most people would agree that children are naturally more creative than adults. After all, there is evidence that creativity falls steadily as we get older. However, did you know that there is a time period at school when many children may also become temporarily less creative?

The Default Mode Network in the brain

Idea to Value

What happens in your brain when you are not actively thinking about anything? Does it go into a sort of low power, “battery saver” mode in order to use less energy? This would theoretically make sense from an evolutionary perspective. However, in reality something even more interesting happens.
