Opis

The Routledge International Handbook of Creative Cognition is an authoritative reference work that offers a well-balanced overview of current scholarship across the full breadth of the rapidly expanding field of creative cognition. It contains 43 chapters written by world-leading researchers, covering foundational issues and concepts as well as state-of-the-art research developments.

The handbook draws extensively on contemporary work exploring the cognitive representations and processes associated with creativity, whether studied in the laboratory or as it arises in real-world practice in domains such as education, art, science, entrepreneurship, design and technological innovation. Chapters also examine the socio-cognitive and cultural aspects of creativity in teams and organisations, while additionally capturing the latest research on the cognitive neuroscience of creativity.

Providing a compelling synopsis of emerging trends and debates in the field of creative cognition and positioning these in relation to established findings and theories, this text provides a clear sense of the way in which new research is challenging traditional viewpoints. It is essential reading for researchers in the field of creative cognition as well as advanced students wishing to learn more about the latest developments in this important and rapidly growing area of enquiry.

O autorze

Linden J. Ball is Professor of Cognitive Psychology at the University of Central Lancashire, Preston, UK. He is interested in the role of meta-cognitive monitoring and control in thinking, reasoning, problem-solving, and creativity. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Cognitive Psychology and Associate Editor of Thinking & Reasoning. He is also the Editor of the Current Issues in Thinking & Reasoning book series (Routledge) and Co-Editor of the Routledge International Handbook of Thinking & Reasoning (2018).

Frédéric Vallée-Tourangeau is Professor of Psychology at Kingston University, London, UK. Recent projects on creative problem-solving have drawn inspiration from William James and Bruno Latour. He co-edited (with Stephen Cowley) Cognition Beyond the Brain (Second edition, 2017), and he also edited Insight: On the Origins of New Ideas (Routledge, 2018). He is the author of Systemic Creative Cognition: Bruno Latour for Creativity Researchers (Routledge, 2023).
