“…Crutchfield [15] contended that intrinsic motivation promotes creative thinking while extrinsic motivation inhibits it. Intrinsic motivation is defined as the desire to do something for the interest, enjoyment and personal challenge, as opposed to external consequences [30].…”

“…In the course of their studies, creative individuals will sometimes doubt themselves. To succeed in life, one has to believe not in each and every thing one does, but in one's ability to get done what needs to get done, and to recover from the inevitable setbacks that life throws one's way (Bandura, 1997 (Amabile, 1983(Amabile, , 1996Crutchfield, 1962;Golann, 1962;Rogers, 1954). Less creative people often pick a career for the money or prestige and are bored with or loathe their career.…”

“…On the other hand, brainstorming also has some unwanted side effects such as encouraging conformity. It is well known that conformity is anathema to creativity [138,139]. When the main benefit of brainstorming vanishes, these side effects become the main and prominent feature.…”

The objective of the present article is a) to explain humans' high creativity in non-mystic and unambiguous terms, b) to evaluate the performance of problem-solving computer programs and c) to make suggestions about future designs of heuristics. Unlike many previous attempts in the past century, we sought inspiration from two sources that had been neglected or excluded from considerations by experts: artificial intelligence and introspections of a number of highly creative individuals, who confessed that they had a penchant for visual thinking. Simonton's chance-configuration model was refurbished accordingly. It is now possible for the refurbished model to explain a number of outstanding puzzles that had eluded our predecessors: a) what intuition is, b) why creators had no idea about their source of inspiration even after the fact, c) a peculiar event happening at the discovery time, known as the "aha" phenomenon, d) a type of accidental discoveries known as serendipity. Moreover, the elusive concept of abduction advanced by philosopher Charles Peirce is actually visual thinking in disguise. Blessed with this new understanding, we could evaluate the performance of a number of problem-solving computer programs from a cognitive point of view. It turned out that the common thread that links human creativity and computerbased creative problem solving is heuristic searching. Recognizing that a digital computer must perform heuristic searching in a digital environment, which is not the most user-friendly environment to do so, we made suggestions about how to circumvent the restrictions without sacrificing the principles in future designs of heuristics.
