The purpose of this study is to explore the distinctive brain functional traits that verbal talents have when compared to ordinary college students when performing language tasks with different levels of creativity through the use of functional nuclear magnetic resonance technology.To this end,we selected 10 literary talent college students as representatives of literary talents and 11 other ordinary college students matching gender,intelligence,and age as control groups.The experimental group(literary talents)and the control group(ordinary college students)received three different language tasks:1.simple reading,sentence materials for declarative materials,2.artistic reading,and sentence materials for five-character poems Song;3.Picture creation,picture material for the prototype of a higher stick figure picture.Through three tasks,the brain functional characteristics of the two groups were analyzed.At the same time,comparative literature talents compared the brain activation patterns of ordinary college students when performing different tasks.Ultimately,the unique brain function features that literary talents rely on in their language creation activities.The research results also show that there are significant differences in linguistic creation behavioral data between literary talents and ordinary college students,indicating that the literary talents' literary level is significantly higher than that of ordinary college students,and the data results are in line with experimental expectations.In the brain activation model,from the results of the fMRI data we have studied,we have found that the temporal lobe and frontal lobe and the left brain have a key role in language processing.By combining the brain activation patterns of information processing in three different levels of creative language tasks,we found that the level of brain activation of literary talents was significantly lower than that of ordinary college students in terms of simple reading and artistic reading tasks.The significantly activated brain area is also less than that of the ordinary college student group,indicating that the literary talents have lower brain activation levels when performing task tasks that are less difficult and less creative,and only require less brain resources to complete the task.In the more creative task of creating images,the activation of the right frontal region of the brain in the literary talent group was significantly higher than that of the ordinary college student group,showing a stronger activation pattern of the two brains,and mobilizing more in connection with creativity.The frontal area.Finally,when literary talents perform three language tasks with different levels of creativity,they have stronger levels of brain activation for more creative language tasks.The results of the experiment show that compared with ordinary college students,literary talents show unique brain functional characteristics in literary creation.
