• Why do ideas get more creative across time? An executive interpretation of the serial order effect in divergent thinking tasks. (2012, unknown): “…2009; Zabelina & Robinson, 2010; Zabelina, Robinson, Council, & Bresin, 2012), judging and refining initial ideas ( Finke, Ward, & Smith, 1992; Gabora, 2005; Vartanian, 2011), and choosing and applying idea-generation strategies that vary in effectiveness ( Gilhooly, Fioratou, Anthony, &…”
• Making creative metaphors: The importance of fluid intelligence for creative thought (2012, background): “…over attention and thought (Vartanian, 2009; Zabelina & Robinson, 2010; Zabelina, Robinson, Council, & Bresin, in press), making decisions and refining initial ideas (Finke, Ward, & Smith, 1992; Gabora, 2005; Vartanian, 2011), and inhibiting obvious and inapt ideas (Nusbaum & Silvia, 2011a).”
• Improvisation facilitates divergent thinking and creativity: Realizing a benefit of primary school arts education (2015, background): “…of novel ideas and to evaluate them in order to produce ideas that will be of value to the context in which they are generated (e.g. Campbell, 1960; Finke, Ward & Smith, 1992; Gabora, 2005; Guilford, 1956; Howard-Jones, 2002; Simonton, 1999; see Sowden, Pringle & Gabora, 2015 for a synthesis).”
• The shifting sands of creative thinking: Connections to dual-process theory (2014, methodology): “Given its focus on a few categories of idea, the persistence pathway appears to relate to other models of creativity that focus on developing ideas, such as Honing Theory.”
• Creativity and Discovery as Blind Variation: Campbell's (1960) BVSR Model after the Half-Century Mark (2011, background): “For example, Simonton’s (e.g., 1999c, 2005, 2005) explicit identification of BVSR with “Darwinism” was tactically unwise insofar as it suggested a close analogy that many consider utterly tenable (Gabora, 2005, 2007; Kronfeldner, 2010).”
