Dimensions of Creative Evaluation: Distinct Design and Reasoning Strategies for Aesthetic, Functional and Originality Judgments (2016, background): “120 2011; Doboli & Umbarkar, 2014; Meyer, 1999; Sarkar & Chakrabarti, 2011), and is argued to relate to goal-satisfaction in design (Shah et al., 2003).”
Reflective Decision‐Making in Elementary Students' Engineering Design (2017, methodology): “Informed designers “design with an abundance of ideas” (Crismond & Adams, 2012) and use techniques such as brainstorming and divergent thinking to avoid favoring any single solution at first (Shah & Vargas-Hernandez, 2003).”
Applied Tests of Design Skills—Part 1: Divergent Thinking (2012, background): “Indirect measures are those that are assumed to aid ideation (afixability, abstractability, and decomposability).”
On the benefits and pitfalls of analogies for innovative design : Ideation performance based on analogical distance, commonness, and modality of examples (2011, background): “, whether they were generating and refining a small number of ideas, or exploring multiple concepts and variations of concepts, which is associated with higher likelihood of generating high-quality concepts [4]; finally, breadth of search was taken to be a measure of the ability to generate a wide v”
Assessing General Creativity and Creative Engineering Design in First Year Engineering Students (2009, background): “Central themes specific to engineering creativity include originality (novelty) (Shah, Smith, and Vargas-Hernandez, 2003; Thompson and Lordan, 1999; Weisberg, 1999) and usefulness (applicability) (Larson, Thomas, and Leviness, 1999; Shah, Smith, and Vargas-Hernandez, 2003; Thompson and Lordan,…”
