TY - Generic T1 - Model-Based Reasoning in Creative Processes Y1 - 1999 A1 - Meheus, Joke ED - Magnani, Lorenzo ED - Nersessian, Nancy ED - Thagard, Paul AB -

Combining a contextual approach to problem solving with results on some recently developed (non-standard) logics, I present in this paper a general frame for the methodological study of model-based reasoning in creative processes. I argue that model-based reasoning does not require that we turn away from logic. I also argue, however, that in order to better understand and evaluate creative processes that involve model-based reasoning, and in order to formulate guidelines for them, we urgently need to extend the existing variety of logics.
