This research focuses on pre-choice stages of decision making, especially on the generation of alternatives. Unfortunately there are few theories with non-choice aspects of decision making. While there is some empirical work, it tends to be quite fragment to the lack of a general conceptual framework. Much of the attention devoted to these topics has been focused on promoting techniques for improving one's creativity, however, such techniques are rarely tested. While the investigators do not have a unifying theory, they do have the structure provided by an integrative computer program that includes a variety of alternative generation techniques. They will extend their development of this computer program which is based on a conceptual approach ranging from highly structured reasoning to very unstructured thinking. The program serves as a means for exploring the relative effectiveness of various techniques and their underlying themes. The proposed tests will include multiple types of problems, problem solving durations of up to 3 months, and subjects who face the challenge of solving problems creatively in their professional lives. As wel as contributing to empirical knowledge, the results may help to advance theory.

这项研究的重点是决策的前选择阶段， 特别是在替代品的产生上。 不幸的是 很少有理论涉及决策的非选择方面。 而 有一些经验性的研究， 缺乏一个总体的概念框架。 大部分 对这些问题的关注集中在促进 提高一个人的创造力的技术，然而，这种技术 很少测试。 虽然调查人员没有统一的 理论上，它们确实有一个综合的结构， 一种计算机程序，它包括各种可供选择的生成 技术. 他们将继续开发这种计算机 该计划是基于一个概念性的方法，从高度 结构化推理到非结构化思维。 程序 作为一种手段，探索相对有效性， 各种技术及其潜在主题。 拟议 测试将包括多种类型的问题，解决问题， 长达3个月的持续时间，以及面临挑战的受试者 创造性地解决问题的能力。以及 作为对经验知识的贡献，结果可能有助于 先进理论
