Perceptual reversals and creativity: is it possible to develop divergent thinking by modulating bistable perception?

The purpose of this article was to examine the relations that exist between bistable perception and divergent thinking, taking as a reference that flexibility emerges in both mechanisms, perceptually or cognitively.

description The purpose of this article was to examine the relations that exist between bistable perception and divergent thinking, taking as a reference that flexibility emerges in both mechanisms, perceptually or cognitively. To achieve the objective, a literary review was carried out using six databases. The keywords used were: bistable perception, perceptual reversals, insight, creative cognition, creative flexibility, perceptual flexibility. 19 articles on the relationship between bistable perception, flexibility and creativity were found. 44 studies regarding both bistable perception and the mechanisms that are involved while cognitive flexibility emerges were considered. 2 reviews on bistable perception were also included. 6 articles related to creativity as a cognitive phenomenon were collated, plus another 3 on perceptual processes. After having made the analysis, it is concluded that the modulating mechanisms of bistable perception have a possibility of being incorporated to develop creativity from perceptual reconfiguration processes that involve flexibility mechanisms.

Este artículo tuvo por objeto examinar las relaciones que existen entre la percepción biestable y el pensamiento divergente, tomando como referencia que en los dos mecanismos hace emergencia una flexibilidad, sea perceptual o cognitiva. Se realizó una revisión literaria utilizando seis bases de datos. Las palabras clave utilizadas fueron: percepción biestable, reversibilidades perceptuales, perspicacia, cognición creativa, flexibilidad creativa, flexibilidad perceptual. Se encontraron 19 artículos sobre la relación entre la percepción biestable, la flexibilidad y la creatividad. Sobre la percepción biestable y sobre los mecanismos que se implican mientras emerge la flexibilidad cognitiva, se consideraron 44 estudios. Se incluyeron 2 revisiones sobre percepción biestable. También se cotejaron 6 artículos relativos a la creatividad como fenómeno cognitivo, más otros 3 sobre procesos perceptivos. Se concluye que los mecanismos moduladores de la percepción biestable tienen una posibilidad de ser incorporados para desarrollar la creatividad a partir de procesos de reconfiguración perceptual que involucren mecanismos de flexibilidad.
