The impact of chronic pain on creative ideation: An examination of the underlying attention-related psychophysiological mechanisms.
Abstract
Attentional deficits in patients with chronic pain are common and well-studied. Yet, few studies have examined the effects of chronic pain on more complex cognitive abilities that rely on well-functioning attentional systems. With the current study, we aimed to investigate whether the impact of chronic pain on attention affects creative ideation as measured with an adaptation of the alternate uses task (AUT).
