The damaging effect of threat on creativity has been confirmed by many studies. However, the neural mechanism underlying this effect has not been clarified. We designed an experiment to explore changes in brain activation when creativity is threatened. Specifically, participants performed the Chinese Remote Associates Test (RAT) under three conditions. The control condition was accompanied by no sound, the neutral condition was accompanied by unpredictable neutral sounds, and the threat condition was manipulated through unpredictable aversive sounds. We used functional near-infrared spectroscopy measurements to collect cognitive neurological data. The results showed that the threat condition reduced the accuracy and response time of the RAT and led to individual negative emotions. Participants' prefrontal cortex and supramarginal gyrus activation decreased under threat. These results provide a reference for clarifying the negative impact of threat on creativity and highlight its cognitive neural mechanisms. |
