Study Notes
Thinking Approaches
- Conceptual or abstract thinking is distinguished from perceptual thinking by not requiring the perception of concrete objects or events.
Logical Thinking
- Reflective or logical thinking approaches problem-solving in a systematic and step-by-step manner.
Creative Thinking
- Creative thinking generates solutions to problems by producing a wide range of possibilities.
- It is characterized by the ability to think outside the box and find novel solutions.
Divergent and Convergent Thinking
- Divergent thinking generates a wide range of possibilities, whereas convergent thinking narrows down options to a single solution.
- Divergent thinking is characterized by producing many solutions, whereas convergent thinking is focused on finding the best solution.
The Creative Thinking Process
- The 'aha' insight experience occurs during the illumination stage of the creative thinking process.
Personality Traits
- People who think creatively are commonly associated with openness to experience, a personality trait that encompasses curiosity, imagination, and artistic appreciation.
Unconscious Thought Processes
- During the incubation stage of creative thinking, unconscious thought processes are characterized by non-logical, intuitive, and indirect thinking.
Problem-Solving
- Reflective or logical thinking aims at finding the most optimal solution to a problem.
Characteristics of Creative Thinkers
- People who think creatively often prefer to deal with ambiguous and uncertain phenomena.
