2021 Berlyne award for outstanding research to Dr. Yoed Kenett

Dr. Yoed Kenett has received the 2021 Berlyne award for his research on creativity. The Berlyne award is awarded by the American Psychological Association Division 10 (The Society for the Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts), and is awarded for outstanding research by a junior scientist. Yoed’s research investigates the role of knowledge in creative thinking. Specifically he asks at the cognitive level, how the structure of ones’ knowledge and the dynamics that operate over it facilitate the generation of novel ideas. To do so, he combines computational methods from network science with empirical research methods from cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience.
