为什么创造性大脑离不开运动？APS 解析运动与创造力的关联
Why the Creative Brain Feeds on Movement
美国心理学会（APS）刊文探讨运动为何似乎能激发更强的创造性思维。犹他大学认知与神经科学教授 David Strayer 参与的一项 2025 年研究在步道起点及徒步、背包旅行前后进行测量，发现徒步后创造力有大幅提升。Strayer 认为，日常多任务处理会令心理工作空间超载，而在户外运动可为创造腾出空间，但科学家尚未确定运动促进创造性思维的确切原因。

David Strayer, a professor of cognition and neural science at the University of Utah, co-authored a 2025 study that investigated how movement in nature influences brain activity. “We took measurements at the trail head, before and after hiking and backpacking trips,” he says. “We found a big boost in creativity after.”
Still, scientists have yet to identify exactly why movement seems to spur greater creative thinking. But there are several hypotheses. “We believe that all our multitasking on a daily basis overloads our mental workspace,” Strayer says. “Time moving outside frees up space to create.”
