"4647","Creative thought as a non-Darwinian evolutionary process","Selection theory requires multiple, distinct, simultaneously-actualized states. In cognition, each thought or cognitive state changes the 'selection pressure' against which the next is evaluated; they are not simultaneously selected amongst. Creative thought is more a matter of honing in a vague idea through redescribing successive iterations of it from different real or imagined perspectives; in other words, actualizing potential through exposure to different contexts. It has been proven that the mathematical description of contextual change of state introduces a non-Kolmogorovian probability distribution, and a classical formalism such as selection theory cannot be used. This paper argues that creative thought evolves not through a Darwinian process, but a process of context-driven actualization of potential.","http://cogprints.org/4647/","Gabora, Dr. Liane M.","Ward, Dr. Thomas B.","       <span class=\"person_name\">Gabora, Dr. Liane M.</span>     (2005)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/4647/\"><em>Creative thought as a non-Darwinian evolutionary process.</em></a>       [Journal (Paginated)]         (In Press)   ","","2005"
