Knowledge Distance, Cognitive-Search Processes, and Creativity
Prior research has provided conflicting arguments and evidence about whether people who are outsiders or insiders relative to a knowledge domain are more likely to demonstrate scientific creativity in that particular domain. We propose that the nature of the relationship between creativity and the distance of an individual's expertise from a knowledge domain depends on his or her cognitive proc...
متن کاملNo . 18 Cognitive Processes in Creativity
"Creative" is a word with many uses. Sometimes it is used to describe the potential of a person to produce creative works whether they have produced any work as yet or not. Sometimes it is used to describe every-day behaviors as, for example, when a nursery school curriculum is said to encourage creative activities such as drawing or story telling. In this essay, I will restrict the meaning of ...
متن کاملEvidence for Generalized Cognitive Search Processes
There is compelling molecular and behavioral evidence that goal-directed cognition is an evolutionary descendent of spatial-foraging behavior. Across animal species, similar dopaminergic processes modulate between exploratory and exploitative foraging behaviors and control attention. Consequently, we hypothesized that spatialforaging activity could prime attentional cognitive activity. We exami...
متن کاملSearch and notions of creativity
In this paper we consider a number of issues concerned with how creativity can exist within a paradigm of computational search. We look both at creativity within the search process and the capacity of the search space to facilitate creativity. Within the latter we consider notions of compressibility and openness in search spaces; the influence of modularity and substructures on creativity; and ...
متن کاملCognitive mapping: knowledge of real-world distance and location information.
A series of experiments investigated how information about geographic environments is processed. In the first experiment, response time to decide which of two pairs of states or buildings were physically closer in the real world increased as the ratio of the interpair distances approached one. The second experiment examined spatial memory for the interrelationships among states and buildings. S...
