Criatividade: uma arquitetura cognitiva

Abstract

Creativity is discussed from a historical point of view, based on an contextual analysis, and understood as tool for complex-problem resolution. Supported by this definition, by the research of cognitive science and by artificial intelligence techniques, a cognitive architecture of creativity is proposed, integrating the concepts of domain, problem fields, cognitive universe and emotions. For the theoretical foundations of that architecture, the applications of categories and prototypes theories of Berlin, Kay and Rosch, and Lévy’s hipertextuals networks are analyzed in depth, as solid tools in the understanding of domains structuring, in conjunction with new robotics research and the autopoieses theory in the search of a self-organized artificial system. Finally, directions are suggested in the formal methods of the architecture and its implementation as a prototype of intelligent and creative system based on the inter-domains relations as a method of creative problem-solution.
