Imagery, Creativity, and Discovery: A Cognitive Perspective

What factors affect creativity and the generation of creative images? What factors affect the ability to reinterpret those images? Research described in this book indicates that expectations constrain both of these attributes of creativity. Characteristics of the imagined pattern, such as cohesiveness or its psychological goodness , also affect image generation and reinterpretation. Other evidence indicates that images can be combined mentally to yield new, manipulable composites. Cognitive models encompass the research and extend it to fields as diverse as architecture, music, and problem solving.Roskos-Ewoldsen, Beverly is the author of 'Imagery, Creativity, and Discovery: A Cognitive Perspective', published 1993 under ISBN 9780444895912 and ISBN 0444895914.
