创造力通常被定义为产生新的、有用的想法或人工制品。这种生成能力对于解决日常问题、技术创新、科学发现和艺术都至关重要。认知科学家关注的一个中心问题是理解构成人类创造性思维基础的过程。我们回顾了有助于人类创造力的一个过程的证据，即通过完成部分指定的关系或类比来生成对陌生情况的新颖表征的能力。特别是，触发在不同情景之间产生关系相似性的认知任务--遥远的类比--培养了一种创造性的思维模式。我们讨论了可能的计算机制，这些机制可能使关系驱动的生成成为可能，从而可能有助于人类的创造力，并最后提出了未来研究的方向。
Creativity is typically defined as the generation of novel and useful ideas or artifacts. This generative capacity is crucial to everyday problem solving, technological innovation, scientific discovery, and the arts. A central concern of cognitive scientists is to understand the processes that underlie human creative thinking. We review evidence that one process contributing to human creativity is the ability to generate novel representations of unfamiliar situations by completing a partially specified relation or an analogy. In particular, cognitive tasks that trigger generation of relational similarities between dissimilar situations – distant analogies – foster a kind of creative mind-set. We discuss possible computational mechanisms that might enable relation-driven generation, and hence may contribute to human creativity, and conclude with suggested directions for future research.
