Publisher's Synopsis

This book is a study of human creative behaviour from a computational modelling perspective. The authors examine theories and models of the creative process in humans, both input creativity - the scientific, analytic side of devising interpretations of input information - and output creativity - the artistic, synthetic process of generating something novel and innovative.  After a critical examination of both earlier theories and computational models, the authors develop and then formally define their own model, an emergent-memory theory. This theory is implemented (in several variants) as a computational model and a detailed empirical study is reported and analysed.  The final chapter is an extensive discussion of the conclusions to be drawn both with respect to their emergent-memory theory and to fundamental issues of creativity that were raised in the beginning of the book.
