It seems to me that we would naturally become less "creative" as we age because we are emmasing knowledge and experience. As we do so we have a much larger bank of solutions to new problems we face. When we are young we have to come up with creative solutions because we can't draw on past experience and accumulated knowledge.
This is probably why we seem more creative when we try something new and novel. We now again have to come up with creative solutions because we have no other reference to go by.

I don't think this makes any sense. Drawing on knowledge and experience, and a larger bank of solutions, to solve new problems is creativity. > This is probably why we seem more creative when we try something new and novel. We now again have to come up with creative solutions because we have no other reference to go by. I don't think makes any sense. When we older more experienced people try something new and novel our experience and knowledge and solutions from other fields doesn't suddenly evaporate. There is a lot of crossover in accumulated experience and knowledge.
