| Abstract: | The article focuses on clarifying and defending the Process Definition of Creativity (TPD) in response to criticisms by Dr. Weisberg. It emphasizes that TPD distinguishes creativity as a process from creativity as a product, arguing that process definitions apply solely to creative processes and not to products, which require separate product definitions. The authors address concerns about the role of internally versus externally directed attention in creativity, the handling of accidental creativity, and comparisons with alternative definitions such as Weisberg’s IN definition, highlighting that conflating process and product definitions leads to conceptual confusion. The discussion aims to promote ontological clarity in creativity research by maintaining a clear separation between creativity as a process and as an attribute of products.
