- Abstract
-
I examined the extent to which idea exchange in an electronic brainstorming session stimulates individual creativity. The influence of idea exchange on particular parameters of creativity was assessed in an idea exposure paradigm. Characteristics of stimuli were manipulated by presenting common, rare, and absurd ideas to 144 high school undergraduate participants. I assessed fluency, flexibility, and originality parameters of creativity using the Russian version of the Alternate Uses test. The results revealed a significant effect of stimulus type on originality, and showed that rare stimulus ideas had a positive influence on originality.
