A social science journal article’s introduction “is like a blueprint and a map: it lays out the itinerary of an article’s path of logical travel…and are organized and structured into predictable patterns” (Shon, 2015, p 41).

Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:

• Refer to The Role of Intuition in the Generation and Evaluation Stages of Creativity article from the University Library and read the introduction.
• How do the authors organize the introduction? Do the subheadings and discussion of the article follow the ‘blueprint and map’ outlined in the introduction?
• Reflect on what you have learned about writing an introduction. What might you do differently in writing introductions as you progress through the dissertation process?

Introduction

Celebrated mathematicians, scientists, painters alike often credit the role of intuition as part of the creative process that constitutes their discoveries (e.g., ; ). Yet despite this seemingly obvious connection between intuition and creativity, ), little empirical research has connected intuition to creativity” (p. 48–49), and this has been echoed by other researchers as well (). In this article, we propose that though we cannot make a strong conclusion yet, there is, however, good conceptual grounds for proposing a link between the two, and promising evidence to suggest, that intuition and creativity are linked, at least on a minimal level.

The principal aim of the present review is to explore the potential link between intuition and creativity in a process-centric framework, in order to consider how intuition would be implicated in different phases of creative problem-solving. By intuition, we refer to its traditional characterization (;
