在三个实验中,研究了不同思维模式与“创造性”和原创思想的产生之间的关系。参与者被要求根据特定的指令生成物品(例如,生成以“a”开头的地名)。他们要么在收到指令后立即这样做,要么在几分钟的有意识思考之后,或者在几分钟的“无意识思考”假设发生的分心之后。在整个实验过程中,参与者在“无意识思维”条件下列出的项目更具原创性。结论是,有意识的思维可能是集中和收敛的,而无意识的思维可能是联想和发散的。(c) 2005爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
In three experiments, the relation between different modes of thought and the generation of "creative" and original ideas was investigated. Participants were asked to generate items according to a specific instruction (e.g., generate place names starting with an "A"). They either did so immediately after receiving the instruction, or after a few minutes of conscious thought, or after a few minutes of distraction during which "unconscious thought" was hypothesized to take place. Throughout the experiments, the items participants listed under "unconscious thought" conditions were more original. It was concluded that whereas conscious thought may be focused and convergent, unconscious thought may be more associative and divergent. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
