By using the Law of Determinability Maimon thought to provide a way both to generate new concepts as well as to decipher the basic categories of thought.
The task included interviews with specialists, a questionnaire sent to researchers, the conduction of ideation techniques to generate new concepts and, finally, a set of tools were prototyped and a subset was ultimately developed.
There are a number of methods for synthesizing findings from qualitative studies [ 12]: we conducted thematic synthesis, which is able to integrate the findings of multiple qualitative studies and generate new concepts and hypotheses [ 13, 14].
Clayton Christensen, a professor at Harvard Business School and the author of "The Innovator's Dilemma", has identified associational thinking the ability to link unrelated ideas in different ways as one of the crucial factors for generating new concepts.
Lowering the operation temperature of solid oxide fuel cells to the range of 400 600 °C has generated new concepts for materials choice, interfacial design and electrode microstructures.
The mediation, also known as intervention, plays crucial role in generating new concepts with the aim of internalization through moving individuals forward along their zone of proximal development (ZPD) (Poehner 2008).
Unlike Latour, Nersessian analyzes historical examples of conceptual change to focus on the underlying cognitive processes employed by scientists in generating new concepts.
Health research generates new concepts and knowledge that influences societal culture (though the relationship works both ways).
Analysis was done concurrently with the interviews, which helped in generating new concepts that further directed data collection in subsequent interviews [ 24].
Controlled experiments primarily aim to isolate causality, while Darwinian experimentation endeavors to enhance systemic innovation and generative experimentation seeks to generate new solution concepts.
