Proposition of the Model:

1. Conditions that increase the likelihood of forming new associations between frames that are distant from one another in the knowledge network also increase the likelihood of producing creative solutions.
2. Conditions that increase the associative distance between salient frames also increase the likelihood of forming new associations between those frames.
3. Conditions that increase the level of cognitive load decrease the likelihood of forming new associations between salient frames.
4. Conditions that increase the number of stimuli problem solvers are exposed to per unit of time also increase the corresponding level of cognitive load.
5. Conditions that increase the associative distance between salient frames also increase the corresponding level of cognitive load.
6. Conditions that increase the degree to which salient frames may be chunked decrease the corresponding level of cognitive load.
7. Conditions that increase the diversity of stimuli to which problem solvers are exposed also increase the associative distance between the resulting salient frames.
8. Conditions that increase the diversity of stimuli people are exposed to decrease the degree to which the resulting salient frames can be chunked.
