Horng, Ruey-Yun; Wang, Ching-Wen; Yen, Yung-Chieh; Lu, Chia-Ying; Li, Chien-Tao – Creativity Research Journal, 2021
Conceptual combination is proposed as the mental activity by which imagination produces new ideas in creative processes. Two parallel forms of the imagination test were constructed based on conceptual combination theory. Each test comprises eighteen unrelated noun-noun pairs. For each pair, an original idea is required. The test-retest reliability…
