The Power of Unconscious Thought: Does It Result in Creative Problem-Solving?

Posted October 4th, 2008 by Anonymous
in
No doubt many of us have all experienced a situation where, after long hours of trying to solve a certain problem, we give up, and go get a break, only to come back and solve the problem within moments. This appears to be a somewhat commonplace situation. However, the science behind it is much more complex.
According to the authors of the study – Professor Adam Galinsky of the Kellogg School of Management, Chen-Bo Zhong from the University of Toronto and Ap Dijkstererhuis of Radboud University Nijmegen – unconscious thought results in creative problem-solving in a two step process.

Meeting Participation Technology

Interactivity has been a buzz word in the meetings industry since at least on decade. Sleeping participant must have been the flashing red light for meeting organisers and meeting planners. Even though napping has proven to be healthy, tiredness after lunch is normal and powernaps are a rage from Tokyo to New York, nobody likes it during their own meeting or conference.

Keeping the audience awake during presentations is one thing, but making the audience participate is a whole different ball game. Turning an audience into participants is key since it creates value for the participant and for the conference. Simply put: it increases the ROI.

Publication Date: 
2006
Researchers from the Yale School of Medicine discovered in 2006 that Gherline, a hormone secreted by an empty stomach not just triggers the hunger signal to the brain. In Mice (plural of mouse, nit as in MICE industry) that hormone also resulted in better learning and remembering.  This makes sense: when you are hungry, as an animal, you go look for food, and it is crucial that you are able to remember where there is food to e found. If you don’t, you die; natural selection. If you want to remember more form the sessions at a conference, you better attend on an empty stomach.
