The road to excellence: deliberate practice and the development of expertise (2007, background): “Extra-domain diversity (i.e., intellectual cross-training) has been shown to facilitate acquisition and transfer of cognitive skill (see Simonton, 2000).”
A Core/Periphery Perspective on Individual Creative Performance: Social Networks and Cinematic Achievements in the Hollywood Film Industry (2008, background): “The former result seems to support the view that past creative achievements are not necessarily good predictors of future ones (Simonton 2000).”
Educating the Developing Mind: Towards an Overarching Paradigm (2011, background): “Building associations and relating new with prior knowledge helps learning, but variation and differentiation helps originality in problem solving (Glassner and Schwarz 2007; Siegler 1996; Simonton 2000).”
The Creative Process (2005, unknown): “John-Steiner, V. (1997). Notebooks of the mind: Explorations of thinking (Rev ed.”
The Differential Impact of Knowledge Depth and Knowledge Breadth on Creativity over Individual Careers (2017, unknown): “knowledge structures to generate novel combinations (Audia & Goncalo, 2007; Dane, 2010; Mumford & Gustafson, 1988; Simonton, 2000).”
Creativity and Discovery as Blind Variation: Campbell's (1960) BVSR Model after the Half-Century Mark (2011, background): “Indeed, domain-specific expertise can often accumulate to the point that it interferes with exceptional creativity (Simonton, 2000a; see also Frensch & Sternberg, 1989).”
Play and practice in the development of sport‐specific creativity in team ball sports (2010, background): “If highly influential creators had broad experiences in their past, this could be associated with “crosstraining” (Simonton, 2000), which is incongruent with the specialization approach advocated by Ericsson et al. (1993).”
Taking the U.S. Patent Office Criteria Seriously: A Quantitative Three-Criterion Creativity Definition and Its Implications (2012, background): “Researchers have often debated whether creativity depends on domain-specific expertise (e.g., Ericsson, 1999; Kaufman & Baer, 2002; Kozbelt, 2008; Simonton, 2000, 2007).”
Eliciting Young Children's Perceptions of Play, Work and Learning Using the Activity Apperception Story Procedure (2002, background): “particularly pertinent when we consider theories that propose that creativity may be enhanced through environmental stimulation (e.g. Ericsson and Charness, 1994; Simonton, 2000).”
Beyond New and Appropriate: Who Decides What Is Creative? (2012, background): “Reaching the level of greatness may require another 10 years (Kaufman & Kaufman, 2007; Simonton, 2000).”
