• The Impact of Metacognitive Instruction on Creative Problem Solving (2015, background): “This supports prior research claiming that creative thinking can be learned and developed over time (Adams, 2001; Lizarraga et al., 2009; Ritter et al., 2012; Scott et al., 2004; Sternberg & Lubart, 1996).”
• The Informed Design Teaching and Learning Matrix (2012, background): “Idea scarcity can arise from designers’ “reluctance to spend the time and mental effort needed to conjure up a rich storehouse of alternatives from which to choose” (Adams, 1986) or from a propensity to shun novelty.”
• EFFICIENCY AND INNOVATION IN TRANSFER (2005, methodology): “As an illustration, consider an example discussed by Adams (1979). He notes that, many years ago, a group of engineers tried to design a mechanical tomato picker that was less likely to bruise tomatoes.”
