自发散性生产概念提出以来的50多年里，在充分解释创造力的简约理论模型的发展方面几乎没有取得进展。最近，最优搜寻理论被用来解释记忆任务中的搜索，这表明在真实的环境中搜索的能力和认知搜索之间的对应关系是认知模型的重要组成部分。然而，外部搜索和发散性思维任务之间的关系尚未得到实证检验。859名儿童进行了评估，通过任务，需要视觉或语义搜索的信息。验证性因素分析模型表明，几个模型提出了良好的调整指数。提出的最佳拟合模型是两个潜在的独立因素和一个一般的一阶因素，表明外部搜索和发散性思维任务有共同的机制。这些数据实证支持理论发展的概念下的发散性生产的一个新的经验和进化的角度，将发散性思维与外部和内部的探索能力。
ABSTRACT More than 50 years since the introduction of the concept of divergent production, little progress has been made in the development of parsimonious theoretical models that sufficiently explain creativity. Recently, the optimal foraging theory has been used to explain the search for items in memory tasks, suggesting the correspondence between the ability to search in a real environment and cognitive search as an essential part of cognitive models. However, the relationship between external search and divergent thinking tasks has not been empirically tested. Eight hundred and fifty-nine children were evaluated through tasks that require the visual or semantic search of information. A confirmatory factor analysis model showed that several models presented good adjustment indices. The best fit presented was a model of two latent independent factors and a general first-order factor that shows that external search and divergent thinking tasks share common mechanisms. This data empirically supports the theoretical development of the concept of divergent production under a novel empirical and evolutionary perspective that relates divergent thinking with the external and internal exploratory capacity.
