Zheng, Su, Bromage, Adrian, Adam, Martin and Scrivener, Stephen A. R. (2007): Surprising creativity: a cognitive framework for interactive exhibits designed for children. In: Proceedings of the 2007 Conference on Creativity and Cognition 2007, Washington DC, USA. pp. 17-26. Available online

“Interactive exhibits in museums are providing exciting and dynamic learning experiences with significant potential to stimulate children's creativity. However, current sophisticated interfaces designed to deliver easily accessible information are not teaching the fundamental skills necessarily to foster genuine creative outcomes. The aim of our research is to promote a design methodology that fosters children's creativity, helping them to gain the formative skills necessary to nurture the process of creative learning. There needs to be more encouragement to motivate children's curiosity and the promotion of observational skills that can help them realise the creative possibilities to be derived from everyday experiences. This paper describes the development of the Creative Surprise Model (CSM): a cognitive framework that informs a methodology to support interactive design practitioners. It identifies the motivational link between surprise emotion and the generation of creativity. We demonstrate how it is applied by describing a real life design task.”
