Needless to say, this was music to my ears on many levels. First, I love any anecdotal evidence that supports my hypothesis that aerobic exercise helps people "think about their thinking" and allows "insights to emerge." Second, I love Peter's terminology of "free flow of thought" because thematically, flow, fluid intelligence, and superfluidity are all on the same wavelength. Thank you again, Peter Gray!
This morning, I woke up and decided to share the insights and biking habits of Peter Gray in a PT post as evidence supporting the fact that aerobic exercise can stimulate creative thinking and lead to "Aha!" moments. Stay tuned for more empirical findings on this topic.
