Thinking can cause forgetting: memory dynamics in creative problem solving.

Research on retrieval-induced forgetting has shown that retrieval can cause the forgetting of related or competing items in memory (Anderson, Bjork, & Bjork, 1994). In the present research, we examined whether an analogous phenomenon occurs in the context of creative problem solving. Using the Remote Associates Test (RAT; Mednick, 1962), we found that attempting to generate a novel common assoc...

Analysis of Collaboration in Creative Problem Solving Based on Thinking Styles

In this study, we analyze the process of collaborative problem solving from the viewpoint of thinking styles. Thinking styles are defined as a preferred way of thinking; here, we focused on three styles: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. In this study, we created groups whose members displayed different thinking styles, and asked the groups to solve a creative task collaboratively. If think...

Clarifying the role of the creative problem solving process on improving the competitiveness of architectural design

Introduction: As a cognitive activity, the process of creative problem solving plays a crucial role in architectural design. The design method includes the emergence, evolution, and transformation of ideas and the formation of concepts. Explaining the most important influential components of creativity and contestability of design raises these concepts in achieving each one of the approaches. T...
