Social Innovation: Enhancing Creative Performance Through Causal Analysis (2007, methodology): “This 21-item measure, derived from Scott, Lonergan, and Mumford ( 2005 ), asks people to indicate the number of business and education courses taken, interest in business and education careers, and involvement in business and education issues.”
Creativity in technology education: providing children with glimpses of their inventive potential (2009, background): “Combination thinking Combination involves merging two ideas or concepts into a third such that the resulting synthesis is autonomous and of utility in its own right (see Scott et al. 2005; Welling 2007).”
Radical and Incremental Creativity: Antecedents and Processes (2011, background): “Work examining conceptual construction has found that case-based reasoning often results in more original ideas (Scott et al., 2005).”
Why and how do creative thinking techniques work?: Trading off originality and appropriateness to make more creative advertising (2009, background): “As noted by Scott et al. (2004a) , the weight of evidence points toward the importance of an individual’s combination abilities in their creative success, and Simonton (2003) notes that priming effects will be moderated by the extent to which spreading occurs due to differences in associative hiera”
Leader Ethical Decision-Making in Organizations: Strategies for Sensemaking (2012, background): “Emotion regulation, self-reflection, and forecasting may be both a corollary of and an influencing factor of information integration, as each can enhance the quality of information integration (Dörner and Schaub 1994; Gaudine and Thorne 2001; Scott et al. 2005).”
Applying Multiple Knowledge Structures in Creative Thought: Effects on Idea Generation and Problem-Solving (2008, methodology): “In one study examining the use of case-based knowledge in creative problem-solving, Scott, Lonergan, and Mumford (2005) asked people to solve a social innovation problem involving the development of a curriculum plan for a new experimental school.”
Creativity and Planning: Training Interventions to Develop Creative Problem-Solving Skills (2006, methodology): “This measure, drawn from Scott, Lonergan, and Mumford (2005), presents people with 10 self-report items where people are asked to answer questions such as “I am interested in teaching someday?””
Creative Thinking Processes: The Past and the Future (2017, background): “One set of studies, studies by Baughman and Mumford (1995), Mobley, Doares, and Mumford (1992), Scott, Lonergan, and Mumford (2005) has shown new ideas, in fact, arise from combination and reorganization of extant knowledge—often through a search and mapping of shared and non-shared features.”
