• Fixation and creativity in concept development: the attitudes and practices of expert designers (2015, background): “These stimuli include alternative representations of the problem (Collado-Ruiz & Ostad-AhmadGhorabi, 2010; Linsey et al., 2010; Linsey, Wood, & Markman, 2008) and”
• Inspiration and fixation: Questions, methods, findings, and challenges (2016, background): “Conversely, it is even possible that by presenting flawed solutions as examples (e.g. Chrysikou & Weisberg, 2005; Jansson & Smith, 1991; Linsey et al., 2010; Perttula & Liikkanen, 2006a; Viswanathan et al., 2014; Youmans, 2011b), researchers may shift the participants’ attention towards those flaws.”
• Crowdsourcing New Product Ideas over Time: An Analysis of the Dell IdeaStorm Community (2013, methodology): “Research indicates that there are both positive and negative factors that can influence the retrieval of pertinent information during the idea generation process.”
