Which mathematical model of creativity proposes that creativity is a process of combining existing ideas in new and original ways?

  1. The Combinatorial Model

  2. The Associative Model

  3. The Divergent Thinking Model

  4. The Convergent Thinking Model


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Combinatorial Model of creativity suggests that creative ideas are generated by combining existing ideas in novel and unexpected ways.

Which mathematical model of creativity is based on the idea that creativity is a process of generating and evaluating multiple solutions to a problem?

  1. The Divergent Thinking Model

  2. The Convergent Thinking Model

  3. The Associative Model

  4. The Combinatorial Model


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Divergent Thinking Model proposes that creativity involves generating a wide range of ideas and solutions to a problem, rather than focusing on a single solution.

Which mathematical model of creativity suggests that creative ideas are generated through the association of unrelated ideas?

  1. The Associative Model

  2. The Combinatorial Model

  3. The Divergent Thinking Model

  4. The Convergent Thinking Model


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Associative Model of creativity posits that creative ideas arise from the linking of seemingly unrelated concepts or ideas.

Which mathematical model of creativity focuses on the process of evaluating and selecting the best ideas from a pool of generated ideas?

  1. The Convergent Thinking Model

  2. The Divergent Thinking Model

  3. The Associative Model

  4. The Combinatorial Model


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Convergent Thinking Model emphasizes the evaluation and selection of the most promising ideas from a set of generated ideas.

In the Combinatorial Model of creativity, the number of possible combinations of ideas is given by the formula:

  1. $n^k$

  2. $n!$

  3. $n + k$

  4. $n - k$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In the Combinatorial Model, the number of possible combinations of $n$ ideas taken $k$ at a time is given by the formula $n^k$.

In the Divergent Thinking Model, the number of ideas generated is typically measured using the:

  1. Fluency Score

  2. Originality Score

  3. Flexibility Score

  4. Elaboration Score


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In the Divergent Thinking Model, the Fluency Score measures the number of ideas generated in a given time period.

In the Associative Model of creativity, the strength of association between two ideas is often measured using the:

  1. Correlation Coefficient

  2. Regression Coefficient

  3. Distance Measure

  4. Similarity Measure


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In the Associative Model, the Similarity Measure quantifies the degree of similarity between two ideas.

In the Convergent Thinking Model, the quality of the selected idea is typically evaluated based on its:

  1. Originality

  2. Feasibility

  3. Usefulness

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In the Convergent Thinking Model, the selected idea is evaluated based on its originality, feasibility, and usefulness.

Which mathematical model of creativity incorporates the concept of "Aha!" moments?

  1. The Insight Model

  2. The Combinatorial Model

  3. The Associative Model

  4. The Divergent Thinking Model


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Insight Model of creativity suggests that creative ideas often arise suddenly, in the form of "Aha!" moments.

In the Insight Model of creativity, the sudden emergence of a creative idea is often attributed to:

  1. Incubation

  2. Illumination

  3. Verification

  4. Implementation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In the Insight Model, the sudden emergence of a creative idea is referred to as "Illumination".

Which mathematical model of creativity is based on the idea that creativity is a process of transforming problems into well-defined problems?

  1. The Problem Transformation Model

  2. The Combinatorial Model

  3. The Associative Model

  4. The Divergent Thinking Model


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Problem Transformation Model proposes that creativity involves transforming ill-defined problems into well-defined problems that can be more easily solved.

In the Problem Transformation Model, the process of transforming a problem into a well-defined problem is often referred to as:

  1. Reformulation

  2. Decomposition

  3. Abstraction

  4. Generalization


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In the Problem Transformation Model, the process of transforming a problem into a well-defined problem is called "Reformulation".

Which mathematical model of creativity is based on the idea that creativity is a process of generating and evaluating hypotheses?

  1. The Hypothesis Generation Model

  2. The Combinatorial Model

  3. The Associative Model

  4. The Divergent Thinking Model


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Hypothesis Generation Model suggests that creativity involves generating and evaluating multiple hypotheses to explain a phenomenon.

In the Hypothesis Generation Model, the number of hypotheses generated is typically measured using the:

  1. Fluency Score

  2. Originality Score

  3. Flexibility Score

  4. Elaboration Score


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In the Hypothesis Generation Model, the Fluency Score measures the number of hypotheses generated in a given time period.

Which mathematical model of creativity is based on the idea that creativity is a process of searching for patterns and structures in data?

  1. The Pattern Recognition Model

  2. The Combinatorial Model

  3. The Associative Model

  4. The Divergent Thinking Model


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Pattern Recognition Model proposes that creativity involves identifying patterns and structures in data that were previously overlooked.
