Document Summary
Looking for real, or underlying problem: incubation. We do not voluntarily think about the event. Series of unconscious and involuntary mental events. The harder you think, the less you"ll be creative. In the bathroom, in bed, behind the wheel. Aha experience, sudden illumination or perception: verification. Only true stage theory: norlander (1999) Occurs when we are mentally fatigued: criticisms. Don"t have to be followed in order. E. paul torrance (1973: sensing a problem/gap in information, forming ideas and hypothesis, testing and modifying the results, communicating the results. Generate ideas by exploring many possible solutions. Breaking old patterns and developing a new perceptual framework. Creative problem solving model: osborn (1963) and parnes (1981) List what you know about the problem. Who, what, when, where, why: framing problems. List alternate problem definitions, the definition of the problem will determine the nature of the solution. Ways to get the best ideas into action. Identify assisters and resisters: treffinger, et. al (1992)
