Ep.80. Creative Thinking: Is it a Balancing Act Between Intuition and Analysis?

"The shifting sands of creative thinking: Connections to dual-process theory" by Paul T. Sowden, Andrew Pringle & Liane GaboraSummaryThis research article, "The shifting sands of creative thinking: Connections to dual-process theory," explores the link between dual-process models of cognition and models of creative thinking. It begins by outlining dual-process theory, highlighting the distinction between Type 1 (autonomous) and Type 2 (working memory dependent) processes. The authors then review various theories of creativity, focusing on the interplay between idea generation and evaluation, and how these relate to Type 1 and Type 2 thinking. Ultimately, the article suggests that creative thinking relies on a dynamic shifting between these two types of processes, and that understanding this shift could inform interventions designed to boost creativity.
