Nov 8, 2021 · Abstract. This article builds on psychological research that claims critical thinking is a key component of the creative process to argue that critical-creative literacy is a cognitive goal of creative writing education. The article also explores the types of assignments and prompts that might contribute to this goal and simultaneously build ...
Cognition, and the cognitive processes which allow for and produce creativity, is much broader than any one skill such as language. Rather it is an integration of all of a person’s sensory systems. The words that creative writing students craft for their audiences paint a picture in their minds, a private movie that only they can see.
May 1, 2024 · The research aims to close the gap between CT and writing by highlighting the problem-solving nature of the writing process. It provides valuable insights into how CT can be integrated into language learning to improve writing skills and foster higher-order thinking.
Sep 28, 2023 · As writing speed is also positively related to text quality in argumentative writing, we will explore the transfer effects from creative writing instruction to writing speed and text quality in argumentative writing tasks.

How writers turn their ideas into text depends on their cognitive resources, such as attention and working memory and the mechanics of handwriting or typing. For English language learners, working memory is particularly relevant. Writing is a very complex and effortful cognitive task. Writers have to juggle ideas, content, language norms (spelling,...
One way to overcome some of the cognitive constraints of writing, in their L1 as well as in English, is to practise different aspects of writing separately in order for writers to automatise these functions, for example spelling and mechanics. Think of writing as learning an instrument: separate skills, such as scales, need to be practised in order...
A way to focus more on meaning at the same time as the cognitive load is reduced, is to design a task where you put meaning in focus and ignore form and correctness. For example, use a creative writing approach: Open the window and ask students to write what they can hear, smell, see etc. 1. Students write about and draw their experiences from an e...
Another way to reduce cognitive load for learners, put meaning in focus and spark their ideas, is to vary the start of the writing process. Ask students to read, compare and contrast model texts before they start writing: 1. Are the texts good? 2. What makes them good? 3. How are they formulated? 4. Who is the reader? This approach is common when w...
writing tasks involve management of a complex array of skills over the course of a writing project, including language and literacy skills, document-creation and document-management skills, and critical-thinking skills.

Feb 24, 2024 · They offer insights into how cognitive load can either act as a barrier or be strategically managed to enhance creative outcomes. These findings deepen our understanding of the cognitive processes that underlie creativity and carry implications for education, innovation, and problem-solving.
