"Five experiments by Northwestern's Adam Galinsky showed that those who have lived abroad outperform others on creativity tasks.  Creativity is also higher on average for first- or second-generation immigrants and bilinguals.  The theory is that cross-cultural experiences force people to adapt and be more flexible.  Just studying another culture can help.  In Galinsky's lab, people were more creative after watching a slide show about China: a 45-minute session increased creativity scores for a week." --Newsweek 19 July 2010, p. 50.
