Creative Evaluation: The Role of Memory in Novelty & Effectiveness Judgements

ABSTRACT How do we assess the quality of an idea? Current theories suggest that episodic memory contributes to creative ideation, implicating memory retrieval and mental simulation in the generation of creative ideas; however, the role of memory in creative evaluation has not been systematically examined. Across two independent online samples (Study 1 n = 50, Study 2 n = 626), we explore how episodic retrieval supports the evaluation of two distinct aspects of creativity: novelty and effectiveness. In both studies, participants were presented with a series of creative ideas – responses on the alternate uses task – and were asked to independently rate them for novelty/effectiveness. Following each rating, participants were prompted to reflect on their process and type a brief description about how they made their evaluation. We apply computational linguistic analysis to quantify the prevalence of episodic/perceptual details (sights, sounds, etc.) in each evaluation, along with past-focused and future-focused words. Consistent with prior work, we observe a negative correlation (r=-.39) between novelty and effectiveness ratings. Ordinal logistic regression models indicate that perceptual detail and temporal orientation of evaluations are predictive of novelty and effectiveness ratings. We show that people refer more to the past when evaluating familiar, effective ideas; conversely, people refer more to the future when evaluating highly novel, less effective ideas. Overall, these results are consistent with the hypothesis that episodic retrieval supports the evaluation of creative ideas.

Upaya Peningkatan Kesehatan Remaja Dalam Menghindari Kehamilan Diluar Nikah

The phenomenon of teenagers getting pregnant out of wedlock, especially in Indonesia, is increasing. The risk of pregnancy out of wedlock physiologically, psychologically and socially causes several impacts, one of which is the emergence of depression due to the negative stigma that society places on these teenagers. As for the analysis of the causes of pregnancy that occurs, one of them is the lack of information regarding reproductive health in adolescents, so the solution is to carry out reproductive health education activities for adolescents regarding pregnancy outside of marriage. This community outreach activity was carried out on January 12 2024 at the Paguyuban Middle School in Bandar Agung Village and was attended by 40 people. The methods used in this activity are lectures, discussions, direct demonstrations and questions and answers and before and after this activity a pretest and posttest are given. So with this activity it is hoped that the community, especially teenagers, will be able to understand and realize the importance of knowledge about pregnancy outside of marriage. The aim of this outreach to the community is to synthesize creative ideas through educational outreach programs by carrying out preventive and promotive efforts in preventing and dealing with out-of-wedlock pregnancies among teenagers.

Creativity as an implementation of the idea of the integrity of the world

The article is devoted to the study of the areas of realization of creative activity, justification of the possibility of creativity as a process of creation of qualitatively new values, mechanisms of creativity, the main of which is intuition. One of the key questions, the answer to which determines the possibility of explaining creativity, is the choice of deterministic or irrational representation of the world. The author makes a reasoned choice in favor of a deterministic view of the world, within the framework of which intuition, and thus creativity, receive an adequate explanation. The research methodology in this article is based on the idea of creativity as a process manifested in the form of intuition, through which the mind reaches areas of world understanding inaccessible to reason based on reproductive thinking. As a result of the research conducted by the author, the key role of intuition in creativity has been established. Intuition, in its turn, is a consequence of isomorphism of forms and laws in different subject areas, at different levels of the universe. A generalization of the use of isomorphism in practice takes the form of the principle of similarity or analogy. The ability of human being to intuition is the result of his multisystem integration into many systems: physical and biological world, social and cultural environment, system of professional knowledge and relations, etc. The representation of the integrity of the world is an imperative of creativity. On the other hand, creativity is an indispensable tool for creating a holistic representation of the world. By virtue of its defining internal mechanisms, everything valuable that creativity gives birth to becomes a part of the holistic world. It can be stated that in the process of creativity the representation of its integrity is implanted (reproduced and used as a tool).

Do Creativity Metrics from Design Research Correlate with Those from Psychology?

ABSTRACT In this paper, we explore measurements of design creativity through metrics related to the processes used in designing and relate them to the metrics used in psychology for idea creativity, ie, novelty and fluency. Our goal was to test the reliability of psychometric measures of creativity to assess creativity in team design. We studied 19 teams of 3 professional engineers that engaged in a one hour-long design task. Design tasks have a greater ecological validity than single repetitive tasks like the AUT and the RAT. Engaging in a design task involves a wide range of cognitive activities, which contribute to creative ideation and to expanding the design space. This study focused on the relationship between the teams’ design idea creativity and design behaviors during the task. We explored to what extent design collaboration between teammates, design evaluation and the co-evolution of the problem-solution space relate to the psychometric measures of idea creativity. Results suggest no specific trend in the correlation between collaboration and idea creativity as measured by the metrics used in psychology, while more cognitive focus on problem-solution co-evolution negatively correlates with these measures of idea creativity. The paper concludes with potential explanations for this lack of correlation.
