GETTING STARTED
How to Use This Text
An overview of the book, with some general guidelines
for conducting and customizing the games, working
within various time constraints, and collecting data.
Materials and Supplies
Guidelines for obtaining supplies and materials you will
need for some of the games.
GENERATIVITY : WHY THESE
PARTICULAR GAMES?
The New Science of Creativity
An introduction to Generativity Theory and
research—the empirical work that inspired the games in
this volume. Generativity has helped to identify the
role that multiple repertoires of behavior play in the
emergence of novel behavior.
Four Strategies for Enhancing Creativity
An overview of four distinct strategies for enhancing
and directing the creative process: Capturing,
Challenging, Broadening, and Surrounding.
Dispelling the Myths
Myths about creativity
—
that it s rare, that it exists in
the right brain, that only geniuses have it, and so
on
—
do not hold up under scrutiny.
Games That Teach
The games in this volume serve several functions: to
lower inhibitions, to get people to behave creatively,
and to teach people how creativity works.
