Exploring 'Little-c' Creativity Through Eye-parameters.

Creativity can be divided into four factors, namely, mini c, little c, Pro C and Big C. Little c measures creativity required in doing daily activities which are essential for stable living. In this study little c is categorized into three levels of high, medium and low and its relationship with occulometric is studied to see if higher values obtained in the test also reflect in their eye movement patterns. Occulometric is studied using eye movement patterns such as fixations, saccades, and pupil diameter. Analysis by One way Anova shows differences in the three groups. It is found that high creativity group has higher number of fixations, low peak velocity, higher saccadic duration and larger mean pupil duration in comparison to its other counterparts. Clinical Relevance- Creativity is an important aspect of everyday living. Understanding this cognitive process through a bio-marker would help in validating a mental capability through eye parameters.
