see Graham Wallas para. &nbsp;This work has been the basis of much work since it came out in 1926.

<a title="Graham Wallas" href="/wiki/Graham_Wallas">Graham Wallas</a>, in his work <i>Art of Thought</i>, published in 1926, presented one of the first models of the creative process. In the Wallas stage model, creative insights and illuminations may be explained by a process consisting of 5 stages:</p>

<dl>

<dd>(i) <i>preparation</i> (preparatory work on a problem that focuses the individual's mind on the problem and explores the problem's dimensions),</dd>

<dd>(ii)<b> </b><i><b>incubation</b></i><b> (where the problem is internalized into the unconscious mind and nothing appears externally to be happening),</b></dd>

<dd>(iii) <i>intimation</i> (the creative person gets a feeling that a solution is on its way),</dd>

<dd>(iv)<b> </b><i><b>illumination</b></i><b> or insight (where the creative idea bursts forth</b> from its <a title="Preconscious" href="/wiki/Preconscious">preconscious</a> processing into conscious awareness); and</dd>

<dd>(v) <i>verification</i> (where the idea is consciously verified, elaborated, and then applied).</dd>
