Aaron Kozbelt's research program, focusing on creativity and cognition in the arts, derives largely from his outside interests. In addition to his training in psychology, he has spent more than 20 years as a practicing visual artist, and his initial research forays grew directly out of his experiences as an artist. Kozbelt has also incorporated his long-standing interest in classical music into a line of archival research examining patterns of creativity over the lifespan of classical composers. More recently, he has started research on creative cognition, humor production and sexual selection, and metacognition and evaluation in creative problem solving.
Education:
Ph.D., University of Chicago - 2002 (Psychology: Cognition and Communication)
B.S., Carnegie Mellon University - 1995 (Psychology)
Areas of Expertise:
Analyses of artists' problem-solving, evaluative and metacognitive processes, and their relation to creativity; archival studies of creativity over the lifespan, especially among classical composers, addressing how creativity changes with expertise, and the reliability of self-criticism processes; the psychological nature of skilled artistic drawing and its relation to artists' visual perception abilities and art history; psychology of humor, including links to evolutionary theory.
