Creativity and Problem Solving: Elements for a Model of Creativity

Abstract

The human creativity has already been theorized in practically all sciences. Some privilege the cognitive aspects, emphasizing the architecture of the thought, while others focus the empiric approach, describing the creativity as a productive technique. This paper tries to reconcile these two visions, offering glimpses of the creativity as technique and of the involved mental processes. Finally, it proposes an “architecture of the creativity” focused on an integration in artificial intelligence systems for the learning of the creativity.
