Commentary on “Brainstorming Myth” By JONAH LEHRER

I had a hard time understanding this article. I didn’t really grasp what I was reading. The only thing I was able to understand was that there has been multiple test to debunk brainstorming myths.The article stated that “The brainstorming groups slightly outperformed the groups given no instructions, but teams given the debate condition were the most creative by far”. A quote that resonated with me from the article was “criticism allows people to dig below the surface of the imagination and come up with collective ideas that aren’t predictable. And recognizing the importance of conflicting perspectives in a group raises the issue of what kinds of people will work together best.”I found this quote to be very true.
