Sadler-Smith, Eugene – Creativity Research Journal, 2015
Based on a detailed reading of Graham Wallas' "Art of Thought" (1926) it is argued that his four-stage model of the creative process (Preparation, Incubation, Illumination, Verification), in spite of holding sway as a conceptual anchor for many creativity researchers, does not reflect accurately Wallas' full account of the creative…

Persson, Roland S. – Gifted and Talented International, 2010

It, then, presents a productivist industrial model of knowledge production, which shows its…

Dietrich, Arne; Srinivasan, Narayanan – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2007
Previous research on the relationship between age and creativity has shown that career age, rather than chronological age, correlates best with longitudinal changes in creative productivity. Recently, Dietrich (2004) proposed a new theoretical framework that integrates cognitive neuroscience with the findings of creativity research. By identifying…
