AUTHOR=White William Frank TITLE=The Overview Effect and Creative Performance in Extreme Human Environments JOURNAL=Frontiers in Psychology VOLUME=Volume 12 - 2021 YEAR=2021 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.584573 DOI=10.3389/fpsyg.2021.584573 ISSN=1664-1078 ABSTRACT=The Overview Effect is usually seen as a shift in worldview that occurs when astronauts view the Earth from orbit or on lunar missions. This is an accurate understanding of the phenomenon, but it does not include any references to how the experience might affect astronaut performance while in the extreme environment of outer space. In this paper, we suggest some potential avenues of research to determine a potential link between the Overview Effect and creative performance.
