    Study Notes

    Creativity & Intuition

    • Creativity involves the use of imagination to create something unique and new.
    • It can be viewed as turning the ordinary into extraordinary through invention.
    • Tension exists between intellect and intuition, conscious and unconscious, order and disorder, conventional and unconventional.
    • Creativity often requires a radical new way of looking at things, restructuring, or a non-obvious solution.

    Creativity: Artistic vs Scientific

    • Artistic creativity is rooted in individual expression, often divorced from social reality and focuses on expressive outputs.
    • Scientific creativity relies on disciplined, logical thinking.

    Creativity: Insight

    • Insight is a solution to a problem based on past experience, often a radical new way of looking at things.
    • Past knowledge or familiarity can sometimes make problem solving more difficult.

    Problem Solving Methods

    • Trial and Error: Experimenting with various solutions until a successful one is found.
    • Means-End Analysis: Breaking down a problem into smaller steps and finding a solution for each step.
    • Analogies: Using comparisons between different concepts or objects to find a solution.
    • Schema: Using pre-existing knowledge structures to inform problem-solving.
    • Divergent Thinking: Generating multiple ideas or solutions to a problem.
