Abstract

The basic components of divergent thinking are analyzed. The concepts of creative thinking and divergent thinking are developed. The functioning of associativity in the process of creative thinking is analyzed. The relationship between creativity and intelligence in the structure of a creative personality is substantiated. The idea of overgeneralized thinking on the scale of creativity, developed by H. Eysenck, is considered, as well as the prospects for the development of the psychology of creative thinking in the coordinate system of Campbell's theory. An analysis of the KARUS system, developed by V.O. Moliako. The expediency and reliability of its implementation as a tool for the implementation and interpretation of a person's creative thinking activity is proved. Creative thinking is considered as solving creative problems. The obtained results of the analysis of experimental data based on the results of the study of the functioning of subjective landmarks in the process of creative thinking of high school students are substantiated. Manifestations of strategies of analogizing, combining, and reconstructing during construction of the researched constructions were analyzed. The formation of landmark images in the process of creative thinking activity is related to the study of structural and functional characteristics of existing information structures. And therefore, constructive elements can turn out to be analogs-references: a) practically without being affected by transformative transformations; b) a subjective reference point is formed at the appropriate stage of constructive transformations, implementation of construction strategies, as a result of which new prognostic and necessary information is found for solving the actual problem, distant analogues, antipodes and their combinations are constructed and used for this purpose, which forms the basis of functioning landmark images in the process of creative thinking activity of an individual.
