- Alternative Abstract
- Following the assumption of corresponding gravity of the right hemisphere (RH) in divergent thinking as previously explained that there are many ways to measure divergent thinking. The following study is intended to investigate whether we can enhance divergent thinking (Creative ability) by activating right hemisphere (RH) using block design of Kwais-IV. Practicing block design of Kwais-IV can activate right hemisphere (RH) and we can scrutinized the probability to boost divergent thinking by artificially activating the RH using block design of Kwais-IV. Following block design, participants pursue the Torrance Test.The results shows that manipulated group who experience the block design for about 20minutes attained significant higher score in Elaboration, a subscale of Torrance test compared to those who did not experience any manipulation, thus no activation of right hemisphere(RH). This results explains that through a simple task in short time so that activating the right hemisphere (RH) can enhance the divergent thinking. Therefore, the inclination from hemisphericity to right hemisphere (RH) through visuospatial abilities will cause remarkable impact on the fallout of creative thinking processes i.e. divergent thinking well illustrated in this study. If we neglect the peculiar mechanism involved, this practice of simple task (block design) has the likelihood to serve as a remedial to increase creative thinking, motivation and skills for creative achievement in such high-tech smart world.
