Q: New US research finds that people are twice as creative when they are doing this?
A: Walking/Standing
PEOPLE ARE TWICE AS CREATIVE WHEN ON THEIR FEET: If you’re looking to hatch a great idea, get on your feet. New research finds that people are twice as creative on their feet as they are while sitting. To find this, U.S. researchers had a group of participants take tests of creativity while either walking or sitting at a desk. Researchers say in one experiment, participants who walked came up with twice as many ideas as those who were seated. The experts say they’re unsure of why this happens, but say, “Walking before a meeting that requires innovation may be nearly as useful as walking during the meeting.” (Daily Mail)
