OverviewAI-generated summary
Darya L. Zabelina's research focuses on understanding the cognitive processes underlying creativity. Her work has investigated the relationship between attention, executive functions, and creative thinking, examining how different attentional patterns may support various forms of creative ideation. Zabelina has explored the neural correlates of creativity, including the use of electroencephalography (EEG) to study brain activity during creative tasks.
Her meta-analysis on mindfulness and creativity, published in 2015, synthesized findings from multiple studies to assess the link between these two constructs. More recently, her research has extended to comparing human creativity with that of artificial intelligence, specifically examining generative language models on divergent thinking tasks. Zabelina's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 26 and over 2,700 citations across more than 100 publications, designating her as a highly cited researcher. She has a history of collaboration with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Joshua D. Upshaw, Michelle M. Ramey, and Stephanie Kane.
