Arnold was well known for applying and devising heuristics for studying a problem and generating novel engineering solutions.Kizilos-Clift, 2009.Pandora, 2006. By the late 1950s, a literature search on the subject of creativity would lead to his contributions.Smith & Grotz, 1959, p. 33. Basing design processes and teaching about design on psychology and contextual factors, Arnold demonstrated how the scientific method could be applied for improving creativity.Smith & Grotz, 1959, p. 34.
