 It’s a classic image; the philosopher strolling along deep in thought. Since ancient times the great thinkers from Socrates to Plato have known and talked about the benefits of a good stroll for the mind. And now scientists are discovering evidence that supports their belief. In fact, recent studies have shown that people become much more creative when they are walking. Two of these studies appeared in the April issue of the Journal of Experimental Psychology 1: Learning, Memory and Cognition.


 
In one study, people were asked to come up with potential uses for an object. Those who were walking were able to come up with nearly twice as many uses for the object as those who were sitting down. In another study, walkers were much better at creating linguistic 2 analogies. So the next time you have writer’s block you may want to consider taking a walk. Moreover, it appears that it does not matter whether you walk indoors or outdoors. So get on your feet and get those creative juices flowing.
