Group brainstorming is less effective than individual brainstorming. However, exposing participants to ideas during brainstorming enhances idea generation, supporting cognitive stimulation theories.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Creativity Research
  • Organizational Behavior

Background:

  • Group brainstorming is paradoxically less productive than individual brainstorming for idea quantity.
  • Scholarly assumptions suggest group dynamics should boost cognitive stimulation and idea output.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the cognitive stimulation potential within brainstorming settings.
  • To determine if controlled idea exposure can enhance idea generation.

Main Methods:

  • Three experiments were conducted to test cognitive stimulation effects.
  • Experiments 1 & 2 involved participants brainstorming while listening to audiotaped ideas.
  • Experiment 3 utilized an electronic brainstorming paradigm with idea exposure.

Main Results:

  • Idea generation was significantly enhanced during and after exposure to external ideas.
  • The effectiveness of exposure was moderated by participant attentional set.
  • The quantity and relevance of exposed ideas also influenced the enhancement effect.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive stimulation, facilitated by idea exposure, can improve brainstorming productivity.
  • Findings support a cognitive perspective explaining group brainstorming effectiveness.
  • Controlled exposure to ideas offers a method to overcome limitations in group idea generation.
