The element of surprise and the suddenness of insight make the study of creative behavior a prime candidate for concepts and methods from nonlinear dynamical systems (NDS) theory. The first contribution in this area, as nearly as we can discern, was chance-configuration theory (Simonton, 1988), which explained how random flows of idea elements self-organize into the core of a solution to a prob...

Although cognitive studies have reported that exemplars negatively influence people’s creativity, they have not focused on the effect of varying the type of exemplar. In this study, we examined how copying incomprehensible exemplars affects students’ creative drawing ability. Participants who had copied these types of picture produced more creative drawings than those who had not copied them. P...

Challenges in idea management research and practice no longer revolve around why it is important for people to participate. Instead, the focus has shifted onto how participants can be motivated and, in addition, how their full creative potential can be exploited. This paper develops a theoretical framework that emphasizes the benefits of game mechanics within the context of idea management in s...

Despite the ability to label these pieces of art as especially creative, it remains unclear how one can truly qualify the defining characteristics of cre...

The objective of the study was to investigate creativity in relation to brain function by assessing creative thinking in various neurological populations. Several measures were employed to assess different facets of creative thinking in clinical groups with frontal lobe, basal ganglia or parietal-temporal lesions relative to matched healthy control participants. The frontal group was subdivided...

The dopaminergic (DA) system may be involved in creativity, however results of past studies are mixed. We attempted to clarify this putative relation by considering the mediofrontal and the nigrostriatal DA pathways, uniquely and in combination, and their contribution to two different measures of creativity--an abbreviated version of the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, assessing divergent t...
