While INE was not directly associated with factual knowledge, it demonstrated a positive indirect association with it through cognitive ela…
Decoding the cascading architecture of creative ideation: An ERP study

However, the current theoretical debate concerns how these two processes support CI. One perspective posits a serial model where idea generation and evaluation occur sequentially, while another argues for a parallel model where these stages operate simul…
