An article in Pacific Standard
examines a recent report that offers evidence to support the claim that
studying abroad boosts one’s creativity. Entitled "On the Cognitive
Benefits of Cultural Experience: Exploring the Relationship between Studying
Abroad and Creative Thinking" and published in the journal Applied
Cognitive Psychology, this report concludes that "cultural experiences
from living abroad have wide-reaching benefits on students’ creativity,
including the facilitation of complex cognitive processes that promote creative
thinking."
