Wallas' Four Stage account of creative thinking consists of which of the following ?

  • A.Inspiration, Research, Incubation, Confirmation
  • B.Preparation, Inspiration, Incubation, Verification
  • C.Preparation, Incubation, Inspiration, Verification
  • D.Inspiration, Verification, Incubation, Confirmation

Answer: C

Wallas's four stages are Preparation, Incubation, Inspiration, Verification.

In The Art of Thought (1926), Graham Wallas described creative thinking as:

  1. Preparation: gathering information and working on the problem consciously.
  2. Incubation: setting it aside while unconscious processing continues.
  3. Illumination (inspiration): the sudden insight.
  4. Verification: testing and working out the idea.

Option B reverses incubation and inspiration, and options A and D start with inspiration and include stages, research and confirmation, that are not in Wallas's model.
