Creativity and play in problem solving
▪ Creative solutions are not accomplished by intellect alone, but by the play instinct. – C. Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul, 1933
▪ Let my playing be my learning, and my learning be my playing. – J. Huizinga, Homo Ludens, 1938

Application in dementia care
▪ Even with impaired memory, every person is unique – changing hearts and minds of carers results in truly person-centred care
▪ Maintaining identity, sharing decision-making, creating community, promoting positive culture (source: My Home Life)

Playing hard-to-forget
▪ Uncovering reasons that lie behind behaviours or emotions
▪ Implicit creativity support: analogy (Other Worlds) when being a detective in a game
▪ Explicit creativity support: combinational creativity techniques offered when managing the clues
▪ Boardgame vs. Video game

Goals for the future work
▪ Define the relationship between creativity and games for motivated learning in terms of reflective problem solving, by proposing a domain-independent descriptive model;
▪ Iteratively inform design of the model and verify its mechanisms by designing and evaluating prototypes in dementia care domain, in a series of empirical studies.
