Wallas’ Four-Stage Model of the Creative Process: More Than Meets the Eye?

Abstract: Based on a detailed reading of Graham Wallas' Art of Thought (1926) it is argued that his four-stage model of the creative process (Preparation, Incubation, Illumination, Verification), in spite of holding sway as a conceptual anchor for many creativity researchers, does not reflect accurately Wallas' full account of the creative process.

Wallas argued that basically the creative thinking process consists of four stages (commonly called Wallas' The Four-Stage Model of Creative Thinking), which involves preparation, incubation, illumination, verification (Sadler-Smith et al, 2015;Peirce, 2018). Briefly, Wallas (1926) describes the four stages of the creative thinking process as follows.…”
