What's the purpose of using the creative picture association tool in a problem-solving situation?

question image

Correct Answer

The picture association tool helps stimulate the creative process in people by using pictures of animals and/or nature that may stimulate new ideas for solutions.

Explanation:

The picture association tool is a creative way of getting people to think about a problem from many different points of view. For exxample, a company wants to design a new form of transportation. By passing out pictures of flying ducks, elephants in a row, geese in their v-flight, tumble weeds blowing across the prairie, and other nature photos, team members can more easily visualize a transportation solution, or perhaps appeal to their multiple senses and emotions, and completely energize their thinking and imagination.
