For the purpose of this handbook, we define Creativity as the ability to produce, or the process of producing ‘work that is both novel (i.e. original, unexpected) and appropriate (i.e. useful, adaptive)’
A number of factors can impact Creativity. These include motivation, intelligence and an individual’s environment.
Critical Thinking is defined as goal-directed thinking, which is used to define and solve problems, make decisions or form judgments related to a particular situation or set of circumstances.
we define Empathy as an individual’s ability to detect what another individual is feeling, and experience an emotion that is consistent with that feeling (92,96).
EF is defined as a group of skills that equip individuals with adaptive, self-regulated, goal-directed and problem-solving behaviour, providing for a sense of readiness, agency, flexibility, and coherence.
three core components of EF: (1) Inhibitory Control, (2) Working Memory and (3) Cognitive Flexibility
