What research area does Andrade mention that could benefit from doodling studies?

• A. Only visual arts studies
• B. Only primary education
• C. Art therapy and psychology
• D. Mathematics education exclusively

Answer: (C)

The correct choice highlights the connection between doodling and its potential applications in art therapy and psychology. Research in these fields can benefit from understanding how doodling affects cognitive processes, emotional expression, and creativity. Doodling may provide insights into how individuals express themselves non-verbally, which is particularly relevant in art therapy where the focus is on communication and emotional well-being. Additionally, the psychological aspects of doodling, such as its role in attention and memory retention, can contribute to therapeutic practices and enhance the understanding of mental health interventions.

The other options are narrower in scope and do not encompass the breadth of research opportunities that doodling could provide in the contexts of art therapy and psychology.
