TRANSCRIPT
Write reflection notes all day
Empty your mind of thoughts all the day
One reflection for each paper
Confidence
Avoid putting participants “on stage”
An increase in arousal makes:
- Human behavior more stereotypical- Human written language more stereotypical

Avoid group workin the vulnerable initial
phases
People are less creative when simply being watched
The bare presence of other people increases arousal (and thus diminish creativity)

Individual work before group work
Arousal might explain part of why brainstorming techniques seem to decrease creativity
Individual idea development should be followed by a brainstorming - not the other way around

Set participants freefrom their own discipline
High intrinsic motivation, combined with low extrinsic motivation,
helps individuals to be more independent of their field
because they are less susceptible to pressures to conform

Postpone external evaluation until the very
last deadline
Self-evaluation is preferable to evaluation by others
Don’t make evaluations along the way
