Effective and Creative Coding
summary
Claim: directed attention is a depletable resource supported by mall decision experiments (heavy decision-making reduces later math persistence), choice-versus-no-choice studying (choosers give up earlier), and the cookie/radish self-control test (resisters quit sooner). Attention restoration works: brief nature exposure—20 minutes three times per week for 12 weeks—raises attentional scores and speeds return to work in post-surgery breast cancer patients. Creativity links to mood: positive affect boosts creativity and speed, while negative affect improves skepticism, accuracy and persuasive argument quality; incubation (relaxed breaks) often yields solutions.
