Negative space
creative process
preparation
This is the stage when the mind is consciously working on solving a problem or towards a goal.
Here, a person is immersed in the quest to find a solution to a body of unsettled issues or goals
-
incubation
This is when the brain is relieved of thinking about the problem or goal leaving the unconscious mind free to operate.
Sigmund Freud brought to light the idea that “much of mental life is unconscious” Today, neuroscience increasingly supports that human decision making is partly unconscious,
unusual connections of previously unrelated ideas happen here because the unconscious mind is not as inhibited by linear logical process as the conscious mind
Insight
-
“creative insight” happens when people are not consciously thinking about a problem, but doing a physical activity, relaxing or thinking of other things.
Creative endeavors often lead to a block, or an “impasse- a state in which the person does not know what steps to take next...such problems are quite likely to lead to a sustained effort that is rewarded with a sudden insight that breaks the impasse and clearly reveals the solution”
evaluation
This is the auto-reflexive step where one questions the validity of the new idea, whether it’s actually new or recognizable.
Here the person chooses which ideas are worthy of elaborating and which are to be discarded.
elaboration
-
This is when the individual is actively engaged in understanding and working through the idea. It is generally the most time consuming step
Most ideas that have made it this far quickly become discarded in the initial phases of realization.
