Abstract

Understanding the neural mechanisms of the idea generation process has implications for research in brainstorming, creativity and innovation. In this paper we present a conceptual neural model for generating ideas. The model extends the associative memory model of Brown et al, (1998) by explicitly representing categories as networks of concepts and ideas as conceptual combinations. Simulation results are compared with experimental results on effects of priming on low, versus high accessibility categories.
