"Innovative Minds Don’t Think Alike" by Janet Rae-dupree- Stub created by Rachel Karn

This article encompasses the book "Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die" by Chip Heath and Dan Heath, "Innovation Killer: How What We Know Limits What We Can Imagine — and What Smart Companies Are Doing About It,” by Cynthia Barton Rabe, and several psychological experiments proving that it is more difficult to be creative after you have already been taught one way. In one experiment, people were asked to tap out a song while imagining it in their head. Listeners guessed the song correctly 2.5% of the time. The people that were asked to tap were astounded that the listeners couldn't guess the song more often. This consequence is due to the curse of knowledge. Economists define the curse of knowledge as difficulty understanding that others do not know what you know. The article explains that the more one learns, the less creative that individual can be. Innovation comes best from those who have not been taught and are able to think of new ways of doing things 
The article also gives a brief overview of the effects and examples around the curse of knowledge and how people can overcome this curse in innovating thinking.
