Cognitive Mechanisms in Human Creativity: Is Variation Blind or Sighted?

Robert Sternberg's paper asking whether variation in human creativity is blind or sighted. Both papers cite it, with Campbell and Simonton, for the contrast between blind variants and sighted ones, which are tried more often the fitter they promise to be. This contrast defines sighted variation (P4).
