Study Notes

Creativity Models

  • Graham Wallas' Model: One of the earliest models of the creative process. It consists of four stages: preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification.
    • Preparation: Gathering information, exploring the problem, and reviewing existing ideas.
    • Incubation: Letting the problem sit in the subconscious mind.
    • Illumination: A sudden insight or "aha!" moment.
    • Verification: Evaluating the idea, refining it, and bringing it into action.

Amabile's Creative Components Model

  • Three components necessary for creative responses: domain-relevant skills, creative-thinking skills, and intrinsic task motivation.
    • Domain-relevant skills: Knowledge, practical skills, and talents related to the specific domain. These are dependent on cognitive, motor, and intellectual abilities, along with formal and informal education.
    • Creative-thinking skills: Methods of thinking such as divergent, critical, and creative thinking, along with the ability to remember, generate non-traditional ideas, and devise new work patterns. These are dependent on training, previous experiences, and personal traits supporting creativity.
    • Intrinsic task motivation: Self-motivation and external motives (rewards, appreciation, encouraging environment, and reduced restrictions) that encourage individuals to engage in creative work.

West's Creative Cycle Model

  • Three stages: realizing the need for creativity, initiating creative ideas, and illumination, verification, and application.
    • Realizing the need for creativity: Individuals or groups identify a gap between expected and current performance.
    • Initiating creative ideas: Focus on the problem, clarifying and arranging/organizing ideas. Liberating the mind from unrelated ideas is crucial.
    • Illumination, verification, and application: Experiencing insight, evaluating and refining the idea, and implementing the solution effectively.

The 4-C Model of Creativity (Beghetto and Kaufman)

  • Little-c creativity: Small, everyday creativity that values a person and those around them; does not affect the whole world. Common to nearly everyone.
  • Big-c creativity: Refers to people with innovative ideas that influence the world; recognized historical figures
  • Mini-c creativity: Unintentional creativity, personal, and about learning for oneself; about personal knowledge, understanding of a particular socio-cultural context.
  • Pro-c creativity: Expert creativity; professional expertise, development & creativity. For individuals and teams within an organization, community, or domain. Impacts an organization, market, or system of practice.
