Bringing together the results of experiments on discovery and
invention in visualization conducted by the author over a three
year period, this book reports new findings on the generation of
creative inventions and concepts using mental imagery, and proposes
a reconceptualization of the creative process. Creative Imagery
introduces the concept of "preinventive forms" and describes an
approach to creative invention differing from those typically used
in problem-solving studies. There are two unique features of this
book. First, it combines the experimental methods of cognitive
science with the opportunity to explore and discover creative
inventions in imagination. Second, it provides readers with
numerous opportunities to use the creative imagery techniques to
develop their own inventions and conceptual discoveries. This text
is of particular interest to scientists working in the fields of
experimental psychology, cognitive psychology, and cognitive
science. The techniques for generating creative inventions will
also be of interest to people working in engineering, architectural
design, and the visual arts.
