مستخلص: | This paper argues that compression is a hallmark of creativity, demonstrating the effect of the process of compression and decompression on the cultivation of creative potentials. This study also suggests some cognitive strategies by which creative literary compression can be encoded and decoded in the light of some relevant theories. In order to raise the creative, cognitive potentials of compression and decompression, this research puts a compressed text in an experimental contrast with a detailed, descriptive text and examines how both address the minds and creative thinking of the research subjects. The research tests the differences between the impact of the two types of literary texts by measuring both the conceptual and linguistic outputs of the participants. The results support the hypothesis that tackling compressed texts deliberately through the cognitive process of decompression generates higher divergent thinking and encourages participants to translate their ideational processes into more creative writing. |
