聚斂型思考係指一場諗嘢過程集中於諗出一個單一嘅答案嚟解答一條問題:喺呢種情況下,條問題有一個單一嘅「正確」答案,呢個答案係「最好最啱」嘅(或者最少諗嘢嗰個人係噉認為),而第啲答案冚唪唥都係「錯」-例子有典型測驗考試入面嗰啲選擇題噉,俾 A B C D 四個選擇,當中得一個選擇算係正確答案會攞到分;呢類思考睇重嘅係答問題嗰陣嘅速度同埋準確度,涉及個人運用熟識嘅技巧同提取啲用開嘅資訊,呢種思考方法通常都唔鼓勵創意,但喺日常生活當中好有用[23]。
响創意研究上,其中一種最出名嘅量度方法係所謂嘅多種用途實驗[e 15],做法如下:搵 n 個受試者返嚟,逐個逐個叫佢哋去實驗室度;到咗實驗室,就俾一件物體(例如一嚿磚頭)個受試者,要佢喺限時之內諗吓件物體有咩可能嘅功能,例如一嚿磚頭除咗可以攞嚟起建築物之外,仲可以攞嚟做武器,或者砸住張紙等張紙唔會俾風吹走;受試者講完佢諗到嗰啲用途之後,研究者就會搵一套標準化嘅方案嚟評估「創意有幾高」,包括[42][43]:
除咗好似心理學等嘅社科之外,人工智能(AI)又有咗運算創意[e 32]嘅子領域:AI 係研究點樣令機械展現出好似人噉嘅智能嘅領域,做法通常係寫一啲模仿人類認知功能嘅電腦程式;因為創意俾人認為係智能嘅重要一環,廿世紀尾嘅 AI 界就有咗「想教 AI 展示出好似人噉嘅創意」嘅諗頭,想 AI 識得寫作、作曲同畫畫-呢啲研究就組成咗所謂嘅運算創意研究[97];呢啲研究喺 2010 年代已經取得咗初步嘅成功-喺 2018 年,試過有人成功寫出能夠自己創作出圖像嘅 AI 程式,而且隻程式創作嘅畫仲以超過 400,000 美金嘅高價賣出[98]。
英文原文:"... Over the course of the last decade, however, we seem to have reached a general agreement that creativity involves the production of novel, useful products."
