OverviewAI-generated summary
Darya L. Zabelina's research investigates the cognitive and psychological factors influencing creativity, attention, and cognitive control, with a focus on individual differences and the impact of modern technology. Her work has explored the relationship between smartphone use and cognitive processes, examining how notifications affect attention and executive functions from both behavioral and electrophysiological perspectives.
Dr. Zabelina has also examined the nature of creative thinking itself, studying how individuals with creative minds engage with their thoughts and how factors like imagination and anxiety, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, may interact. Her research extends to comparing human creativity with artificial intelligence, assessing the capabilities of generative language models on tasks such as divergent thinking. With a high-impact researcher designation, Dr. Zabelina has authored over 100 publications and garnered over 2,500 citations, collaborating extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Joshua D. Upshaw, Michelle M. Ramey, and Stephanie Kane.
