“…For example, despite their differences in scale and domain, the solar system and an atom can be seen as analogous by virtue of both having a nucleus and orbiting elements. The psychological literature on analogy and problem solving has often focused on analogy's role in facilitating the creation of novel concepts and solutions, such as conceptual change in scientific discovery (Gentner et al, 1997;Holyoak & Thagard, 1996a;Langley & Jones, 1988;Nersessian, 1999), generating innovative ideas in design (Chan et al, 2011;Dahl & Moreau, 2002;Helms, Vattam, & Goel, 2009;Linsey, Laux, Clauss, Wood, & Markman, 2007;Wilson, Rosen, Nelson, & Yen, 2010), and developing creative artistic visions (Okada, Yokochi, Ishibashi, & Ueda, 2009).…”

Analogy as a strategy for supporting complex problem solving under uncertainty

Complex problem solving in naturalistic environments is fraught with uncertainty, which has significant impacts on problem-solving behavior. Thus, theories of human problem solving should include accounts of the cognitive strategies people bring to bear to deal with uncertainty during problem solving. In this article, we present evidence that analogy is one such strategy. Using statistical analyses of the temporal dynamics between analogy and expressed uncertainty in the naturalistic problem-solving conversations among scientists on the Mars Rover Mission, we show that spikes in expressed uncertainty reliably predict analogy use (Study 1) and that expressed uncertainty reduces to baseline levels following analogy use (Study 2). In addition, in Study 3, we show with qualitative analyses that this relationship between uncertainty and analogy is not due to miscommunication-related uncertainty but, rather, is primarily concentrated on substantive problem-solving issues. Finally, we discuss a hypothesis about how analogy might serve as an uncertainty reduction strategy in naturalistic complex problem solving.

“…Artistic creation can be regarded as a creative problem‐solving process (Okada & Ishibashi, 2017; Okada et al, 2009; Simon, 1973; Stokes & Gibbert, 2019). In such a process, artists search for goals, tools, and ways to make art in ill‐defined problem spaces.…”

“…Integrating the various levels of these concepts/themes, Okada and colleagues conducted research on the medium‐/long‐term creative process of art‐making, including the process of making a series of artwork based on certain artistic styles or themes/concepts (e.g., Okada et al, 2009; Takagi et al, 2015; Takagi et al, 2013; Yokochi & Okada, 2007). Special focus was placed on how, from a cognitive psychological perspective, an artistic theme/concept was formed in an artist’s mind and how sub‐themes/sub‐concepts were derived from the main theme/concept (Okada et al, 2009; Yokochi & Okada, 2007).…”

“…Okada et al (2009) investigated the creation process of art concepts, focusing on “analogical modification” (see below), which refers to cognitive processes tasked with generating new artistic concepts by analogically modifying elements of the artists’ previous artwork. The authors claimed that: (a) patterns of art concept formation gradually change as artists accumulate experience; (b) artists use their creative vision for analogical modification of their own art‐making process; and (c) analogical modification enables artists to generate various artwork series, which are mutually connected with each other under the same creative vision.…”

The present study investigates how emerging/young and established/expert artists create artwork, paying special attention to modifications in the art‐making process. Here, “process modification” is the means by which artists generate new artistic concepts by modifying elements of their previous artwork. To examine whether emerging artists use such modifications in the same manner as experts, we interviewed 28 contemporary artists (including 14 experts). The results reveal that most of the emerging artists modified their work unsystematically. Emerging artists drastically changed the subject/motif, method, and concept for their new artwork. Experts, in contrast, used Concept modification to generate new art ideas based on their creative vision and to produce more artwork series than before finding a creative vision. These results are discussed in relation to the development of creative expertise.

Music is one of ways to express affective activities of human beings. Therefore, there are many researches about music activities in the field of affective computing (Kansei Engineering). However, although most of those researches treat mainly the automatic generation of music using computer or the effects of music to human emotion or affective-cognitive, there are only few researches which deal with music composition as humans creative activities in the field of affective computing. It is desired to realize the system that can overcome drawbacks and support the collaborative music composition to exert specific creativity based on the human original affective activity. In this paper, we describe (1) conditions and method for supporting creative collaborative composing based on the analysis of human creativity (2) implementation of the system with supporting creative and collaborative composition, and (3) system evaluation and its result which shows availability of the system.
