• Fixation and creativity in concept development: the attitudes and practices of expert designers (2015, background): “tance’ from the design domain that is otherwise being considered (Chan et al., 2011; Fu et al., 2013; Gonçalves, Cardoso, & Badke-Schaub, 2013; Tseng et al., 2008).”
• Inspiration and fixation: Questions, methods, findings, and challenges (2016, background): “…is good support for the idea that stimuli that are neither too near nor too far from the problem domain are more likely to produce creative insights and novel solutions (Chan et al., 2011; Dahl &Moreau, 2002; Fu et al., 2013; Gentner &Markman, 1997; Gonçalves et al., 2012; Linsey et al., 2010).”
