Abstract

Inspired by the seminal ideas of associative learning theorists, creativity researchers have proposed that there exists an integral link between the scope of attention and creative thought. Specifically, it has been posited that broadened conceptual attention facilitates awareness of relatively inaccessible or peripheral information, thereby bolstering the ability to produce innovative alternatives. The results of recent studies assessing this contention are reviewed.
