Dr H. Bai (Honghong)

My research focuses on creativity in young children. My PhD project investigated the process of divergent thinking (DT) and its development throughout the preschool years, and the findings revealed both top-down, executive thinking processes and bottom-up, associative thinking processes contributed to the generation of original ideas but at different time stages. Currently I focus my research on the social origins of creativity and the (dis)similarities between human- and AI-creativity.
