Convergent thinking narrows down a list of alternatives to converge on a single correct answer. Divergent thinking expands the number of alternatives by generating several possible solutions. Many theorists believe that creativity lies in divergent thinking and not convergent thinking.

Convergent thinking is the application of knowledge you already have to a clearly defined question. There is not much creativity involved, but more pulling information you already have stored in your mind and reciting it. Questions requiring convergent thinking include "what is 3 times 3?" and "Is a cat a mammal?"

Divergent thinking is the synthesis of new ideas, and involves solving a problem without already having the information. This type of thinking involves creativity. Problems include figuring out how to make your roommates couch fit through a door, or designing a rollercoaster in Rollercoaster Tycoon.

It's worth noting that creativity usually involves a bit of both thinking processes, since you usually have to draw from preexisting knowledge in order to solve an unfamiliar problem.

What are the similarities and differences between neurotransmitters and hormones
MatroZZZ [7]
Neurotransmitters work locally and their actions are very fast. Both hormones and neurotransmitters act as chemical messengers in the body. However, neurotransmitters' actions are short-lived while hormones act for longer periods of time. Neurotransmitters are delivered through the bloodstream, whereas hormones are found primarily in the synaptic cleft. Hormones are mostly released by glands, whereas neurotransmitters are made in the cell body of the neuron.
