“Convergent thinking is primarily concerned with taking in information and producing, or 'converging’ on, a single correct answer to the problem. In contrast, divergent thinking is not concerned with the one correct answer. Instead, the emphasis is on a person's ability to generate a wide range of answers; the response is a divergence or an expansion rather than one single answer.”Nigel Cross: Styles of learning, designing and computing. In Design Studies 6.3 (1985): 157-162.
