The cognitive aspects of creativity pertain to modes of thinking and processes of the mind. More thoughts and actions than one at first would think are creative, not only within the fields of science and art, but also in everyday life. Household work like cleaning or cooking sometimes stand in need of creative thinking, as does engaging in science and technology, for instance, by constructing theories to explain observations, or designing new experiments. Only, unless actions are of a historical importance, they rarely receive much attention, not even from the person that stands behind them.
