Creative Cognition combines original experiments with existing work
in cognitive psychology to provide the first explicit account of
the cognitive processes and structures that contribute to creative
thinking and discovery. Creative Cognition combines original
experiments with existing work in cognitive psychology to provide
the first explicit account of the cognitive processes and
structures that contribute to creative thinking and discovery. In
separate chapters, the authors take up visualization, concept
formation, categorization, memory retrieval, and problem solving.
They describe novel experimental methods for studying creative
cognitive processes under controlled laboratory conditions, along
with techniques that can be used to generate many different types
of inventions and concepts. Unlike traditional approaches, Creative
Cognition considers creativity as a product of numerous cognitive
processes, each of which helps to set the stage for insight and
discovery. It identifies many of these processes as well as general
principles of creative cognition that can be applied across a
variety of different domains, with examples in artificial
intelligence, engineering design, product development,
architecture, education, and the visual arts. Following a summary
of previous approaches to creativity, the authors present a
theoretical model of the creative process. They review research
involving an innovative imagery recombination technique, developed
by Finke, that clearly demonstrates that creative inventions can be
induced in the laboratory. They then describe experiments in
category learning that support the provocative claim that the
factors constraining category formation similarly constrain
imagination and illustrate the role of various memory processes and
other strategies in creative problem solving.
