Torrance Incubation Model

Page 25: Yo  Yo  Kids

Torrance Metaphors:

Looking Twice Defer judgment Keep open to new

information and insights

Search for more information

Evaluate and re-evaluate information

Page 26: Yo  Yo  Kids

Torrance Metaphors:

Digging Deeper Get beyond the surface

to find out what was hidden

Diagnose difficulties Integrate all available

information Check information

against hunches Synthesize diverse

kinds of information Elaborate and diverge

Page 27: Yo  Yo  Kids

Torrance Metaphors:

Listening / Talking to a Cat Let presented information

"talk to you" and then “talk back” to the information

Read your own feelings in response

Recognize that mistakes will be made

Make guesses, check, correct, reexamine, discard unpromising solutions, refine, and make the best solutions better
