Order and disorder are prevalent in both nature and culture, which suggests that each environ confers advantages for different outcomes. Three experiments tested the novel hypotheses that orderly environments lead people toward tradition and convention, whereas disorderly environments encourage breaking with tradition and convention-and that both settings can alter preferences, choice, and beha...

in what they can cover, there is little doubt that the construction of humor is generally regarded as creative, with the most successful creators of humor sometimes being hailed as “comic geniuses.” This suggests that the task of getting a computer to produce humor falls within the area of computational creativity, and any general theory of creativity should have something to say about humor. T...

Neuroticism is a dimension of personality that captures trait individual differences in the tendency to experience negative thoughts and feelings. Established theories explain neuroticism in terms of threat sensitivity, but have limited heuristic value since they cannot account for features of neuroticism that are unrelated to threat, such as creativity and negative psychological states experie...

We present an argument for the advancement of Intelligent Creativity Support (ICS) systems as an integrating framework for Intelligent Tutoring Systems, Affective Computing, and Creativity Support Tools, in a manner that closely aligns each of these technologies and research agendas with the componential model of creativity, i.e. domain relevant expertise, intrinsic motivation, and creative thi...

We investigate the ‘Digital Synaptic Neural Substrate’ (DSNS) computational creativity approach further with respect to the size and quality of images that can be used to seed the process. In previous work we demonstrated how combining photographs of people and sequences taken from chess games between weak players can be used to generate chess problems or puzzles of higher aesthetic quality, on...

objective: interest in the subject of creativity and its impacts on human life is growing extensively. however, only a few surveys pay attention to the relation between creativity and physiological changes. this paper presents a novel approach to distinguish between creativity states from electrocardiogram signals. nineteen linear and nonlinear features of the cardiac signal were extracted to d...

Many decades of research have shown that creativity and intelligence are modestly related. Some studies, however, have found that creativity and intelligence are essentially unrelated. The best example may be Wallach and Kogan's (1965) landmark study of 151 children. In that study, 10 measures of creativity didn't correlate with 10 measures of intelligence and academic achievement (average r = ...

The aim of the present study was to analyse and compare components of creativity of students with respect to their locus of control, age, gender and family type. The study was conducted on students of undergraduate and post graduate programmes of university of Mysore. The data was collected from a sample of 244 students, of which 112 were males and 132 were females. It was also found that 146 s...

We are motivated by the recent application of computational creativity in the culinary domain. Given the increasing commercial importance of data-driven computation, we explore and provide unified framework in three new domains to which computational creativity can be applied and yield business value. The three domains are travel, fashion, and science. Reflecting on the framework characterizati...

Interaction design has been suggested as a framework for evaluating computational creativity by Bown (2014). Yet few practical accounts on using an Interaction Design based evaluation strategy in Computational Creativity Contexts have been reported in the literature. This study paper describes the evaluation process and results of a human-computer co-creative poetry writing tool intended for ch...
