1. To know how to train creative thinking.
2. To create new tools to support creative thinking.
3. To support the process of creative design.
Why do we need to study Creative
Cognition?

MIND-WANDERINGHighly volatile & easily distracted thinking, a
scattered mind“Attention becomes disengaged from the immediate external environment and focused on internal trains of thought.”
“a goal-driven process, albeit one that is not directed toward the primary task (Smallwood & Schooler, 2006)
Costs of mind-wandering: Reading, Attention, aptitude
What are some possible benefits of mind-wandering?
Incubation and Insight

Mental Play: VISUAL SYNTHESISPlaying with forms to generate
pre-inventive structures for exploring

Structured Imagination
New (creative) ideas are based on existing concepts and schemas.

Structured Imagination
New (creative) ideas are based on existing concepts and schemas.
Path of Least Resistance
Conceptual extension tends to begin with a basic level category, and then become more specific.
