    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Structured imagination refers to reliance upon prior knowledge\nwhen generating novel examples of a provided category. Yet\nstudies supporting this tenet use experimental designs where\nthe stimuli themselves cue exemplars based on culturally\nrelevant items. The present study combined exemplar\ngeneration with abstract stimuli as a means of attenuating\ninstructional bias. Participants were shown a group of abstract\nshapes identified as a single category and instructed to generate\nanother member of this category. We additionally examined\nwhether the introduction of a cognitive conflict (by including\nan anomalous category member) and self-explanation during\ngeneration affected the level of imaginative responses.\nContrary to expectations, the presentation of a conflicting\ncategory member did not result in more imaginative responses\nwhen compared to more homogenous stimuli sets. However, a\nsignificantly greater degree of imaginative responses was\nobserved from participants who were required to explain their\nthinking prior to and whilst constructing their exemplars.",
