提供刺激可以促进想法的产生。创造力理论通常认为与问题任务无关的刺激会提高创造力,但实证研究得出了不一致的结果。我们提出了一个基于维基百科的方法,能够识别刺激在不同程度的相关性。具体来说,我们使用超文本链接在两个部分的维基百科文章的焦点概念,以确定密切相关的概念。重复这个过程会导致越来越遥远的概念。使用这种方法来获得刺激的概念,我们研究的影响,刺激相关性的想法产生。我们的研究结果表明,刺激相关性正相关的想法数量和想法有用性。虽然创造力理论通常建议使用无关的刺激,以促进想法的新奇,本实验研究的结果表明,远程相关的刺激,而不是无关的刺激,往往会提高想法的新奇。由于维基百科涵盖了几乎所有学科的知识,我们基于维基百科的方法可以用来发现适当的刺激,从而支持大多数知识领域的创造性工作。
Providing stimuli may facilitate idea generation. Creativity theories often suggest that stimuli unrelated to the problem task will improve creativity, but empirical studies have yielded inconsistent results. We propose a Wikipedia-based approach that is able to identify stimuli at different levels of relatedness. Specifically, we use hypertext links in two sections of the Wikipedia article of a focal concept to identify closely related concepts. Repeating this procedure leads to increasingly remote concepts. Using this approach to obtain stimulus concepts, we examine the effect of stimulus relatedness on idea generation. Our results show that stimulus relatedness is positively related to idea quantity and idea usefulness. While creativity theories often suggest using unrelated stimuli to promote idea novelty, results of this experimental study indicate that remotely related stimuli, not unrelated stimuli, tend to improve idea novelty. Because Wikipedia covers knowledge in almost all disciplines, our Wikipedia-based approach can be used to discover appropriate stimuli and thereby support creative work in most domains of knowledge.
