The creative process according to psychology and methods to explore it

According to psychology, creativity is the ability to produce ideas that are both original and appropriate (Lubart et al., 2015). Fitting in with this definition, the creative process is then the sequence of thoughts and actions that result in an original and adapted production. This process can thus be described according to a macro approach, detailing the stages that make it up, or by a micro approach, detailing the mechanisms within each stage. In this presentation, we will define creativity and, more specifically, the creative process according to psychology, and then look at the methods used to evaluate or observe it.
