Adam E. Green is an American cognitive neuroscientist, the founder and current president of the Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity (SfNC).[1] He is the Provost's Distinguished Associate Professor[2] at Georgetown University and director of the Georgetown Laboratory for Relational Cognition. In January 2022, he assumed the role of Editor-in-Chief at Creativity Research Journal.[3][4]
Early life and education[edit]
Green was born in Greensboro, North Carolina and attended Northwest Guilford High School.[5] Green received his B.A. from The Johns Hopkins University in 2001, and his Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience from Dartmouth College in 2007 under the direction of Kevin N. Dunbar. He completed post-doctoral training at Yale University from 2007 to 2010 under Jeremy R. Gray.[6] He was appointed to the faculty at Georgetown University in 2010 as an assistant professor, promoted to associate professor in 2017. [7]
Research[edit]
Green's career in psychology research stems from an interest in philosophy.[8] He attempts to answer questions about human behavior through the physical study of the brain. As a professor at Georgetown University, he has consistently taught a "Neurophilosophy" class that advances this curiosity.[9]
Green's research has integrated creativity and reasoning through the cognitive and brain-based study of "semantic distance," using this distance as a measure of creativity in reasoning.[10][11] [12] His work has investigated creativity as a dynamic state that can be augmented within an individual,[13][14][15] distinct from traditional research on creativity as a stable trait.[16][17]Green's research has also discovered evidence of creativity anxiety, an anxiety that arises in response to a demand to be creative and generative.[18][19]
His other work, primarily centering around creativity, has been published in numerous scientific journals, including Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, Current Directions in Psychological Science, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Nature Reviews Neuroscience, Nature Communications, Nature, and more.
