Creative Cognition and Brain Network Dynamics (2015, background): “, insight [6,7]), divergent thinking involves generating several possible solutions to an open-ended problem, such as inventing creative uses for common objects.”
The analysis of intuition: Processing fluency and affect in judgements of semantic coherence (2009, background): “There is a large amount of excellent works by Beeman and colleagues (eg, Beeman et al, 1994 ; Bowden & Beeman, 1998 ; Bowden, Jung-Beeman, Fleck, & Kounios, 2005 ).”
A Brain Mechanism for Facilitation of Insight by Positive Affect (2009, positive): “However, they can be solved either analytically or with insight (Bowden & Jung-Beeman, 2003a; for a review, see Bowden et al., 2005).”
Incubation, insight, and creative problem solving: a unified theory and a connectionist model. (2010, methodology): “Knowledge integration is supported by recent neurological findings in insight problem solving (Bowden et al., 2005).”
The Cognitive Neuroscience of Creativity: A Critical Review (2011, methodology): “EEG should more frequently be used in conjunction with fMRI, as done with the RAT triplet studies of (Bowden et al., 2005).”
Explanations in the wild. (2021, positive): “…is working out what is relevant to begin with (as explanations are ill-defined problems, Horne et al., 2019), the ability to generate good explanations will depend on insight , the ability to creatively form a relevant problem representation (Bowden et al., 2005; Durso et al., 1994; Sulik, 2018).”
The Neuropsychological Connection Between Creativity and Meditation (2009, background): “Bowden, Jung-Beeman, Fleck, and Kounios ( 2005 ) suggested a cognitive model for insight activation in which (a) initial processing strongly activates unrelated information, as well as weak information critical to a solution; (b) processing integrates problem elements across nondominant, or contextu”
Active Inference, Curiosity and Insight (2017, methodology): “These simulations are not inconsistent with event-related potential and fMRI studies of insight, reviewed in the discussion (e.g., Jung-Beeman et al., 2004; Mai, Luo, Wu, & Luo, 2004; Bowden et al., 2005).”
Exploring the neurological basis of design cognition using brain imaging: some preliminary results (2009, background): “Studies of creative cognition often focus on an isolated mental process or ability, such as insight, imagery, generation of novel words or stories, divergent thinking, hypothesis generation and set-shifting (e.g. Bowden et al., 2005; Howard-Jones et al., 2005; Vartanian and Goel, 2005).”
Entrepreneurial behaviour: the role of values (2016, background): “Phenomenography’s ontological assumptions are subjectivist; that is, the world exists objectively and different types of people, groups and cultures interpret the objective world in different ways; and from a non-dualist viewpoint (Bowden et al., 2005; Marton and Booth, 1997).”
Time of day effects on problem solving: When the non-optimal is optimal (2011, background): “Bowden et al. found greater neural activity over the temporal lobes when solving insight problems while there was greater neural activity over the posterior cortex while solving analytic problems. Similarly, Lavric et al. (2000) found greater ERP activation in the frontal region of the brain when pa”
Toward an integrated theory of insight in problem solving (2015, background): “The second general perspective on insight has been called the “businessas-usual” view (Bowden et al., 2005), because it proposes that, although the phenomenology of insight can be very different from that accompanying problem solving through analysis, that difference does not mean that the…”
