In 1992, Finke et al. proposed the "Geneplore" model, in which creativity takes place in two phases: a generative phase, where an individual constructs mental representations called preinventive structures, and an exploratory phase where those structures are used to come up with creative ideas.
1992. godine, Finke et al. predlaže 'Geneplore' model, u kojoj kreativnost mjesto zauzima u dvama fazama: generativnoj fazi, gdje pojedinac stvara mentalne predodžbe zvane preinventivnim strukturama, i istraživačkoj fazi gdje navedene strukture bivaju korištene za stvaranje novih kreativnih ideja.
