Abstract
The creative process can be thought of as the search through a space of possible solutions for one that best sat- isfies the problem criteria. To better understand this search process, two face valid creative tasks have been created, both of which track the intermediate configurations that creators explore. These data—called search trajectories—may yield valuable insights into the creative process. This demonstra- tion allows visitors to try both tasks and to see the sorts of data that are produced.
The first task is a computerized version of Amabile’s (1982) popular collage task, wherein participants make themed collages using colored shapes (see Figure 1). The software allows the shapes to be moved, rotated, flipped, and stacked using an intuitive mouse-based interface. The creator’s moves can be characterized according to the extent that the set of shape movements actually performed exceeds the minimal set of movements needed to produce the final collage.
