Are you constantly jumping from one topic to the next, sometimes interrupting others or not even listening to what they're saying? Do you ever feel overwhelmed by how many ideas you come up with at once? Would you consider yourself creative? And - last question - do you have ADHD?
If you said “yes” to at least one of those questions, you may want to grab the popcorn and watch this video on ADHD, ideas, associative thinking, creativity, and the default mode network.
Here's a sneak peek into what you'll learn:
Idea overload: When you’re completely overwhelmed by the volume of ideas and connections you come up with in a given timeframe.
Connecting ideas and concepts: Ever felt like your brain was playing six degrees of separation on steroids? That's associative thinking for you. Discover how ADHDers excel at linking seemingly unrelated concepts faster than you can say "my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard." (That reference will make sense when you watch the video)
Associative horizons: Associative horizons are like the horizons you see in the sky, but with ideas. It’s how far your mind can reach to connect concepts, sensory stimuli, or ideas. There’s narrow horizons and broad horizons. And… Would you surprised to learn the people with ADHD are more likely to make quicker associations than neurotypicals?
The science of the ADHD brain: Get ready for some neuroscientific insights! You’ll learn about how the default mode network (DMN) and the central executive network (or task positive network) are different in ADHD brains, and how that’s connected to creativity and broad associative horizons.
Brainstorm like a boss: Learn how to harness the power of focused brainstorming near the end of the video.
