    "abstract": "The current study explored whether creative processes specifically incubation and the serial order effect extend to creativityin mathematics, and if there is a relation to divergent thinking. A total of 155 postsecondary students completed an unusualuse task and a multiple-strategy math task. Participants were given 8 minutes to generate as many strategies as they couldfor the math task, and then after a brief break, were given another problem with the same underlying structure for 4minutes. We find evidence for a serial order effect in math, whereas across trials it became more difficult for participantsto generate a new strategy, but the strategies were rated as more creative. The brief break also provided some evidence ofincubation, as there was a boost in the number of overall strategies and creativity. We also found that divergent thinkingand mathematical creativity were significantly related.",
