noegenesis|nəʊiːˈdʒɛnɪsɪs| [f. Gr. νόη-σις noesis + -genesis.] The generating of new knowledge from experience through the apprehension of experience, the eduction of relations and the eduction of correlates; the obtaining of knowledge thus. So noegeˈnetic a., of, pertaining to, or concerned with, noegenesis.
1923C. Spearman Nature of ‘Intelligence’ iv. 61 ‘Noegenesis’. Another basal property of the manifestations of all the principles is that they, and they alone, are generative of new items in the field of cognition. If then, it be desired to depict these three principles summarily, taking into account both their noetic and their generative properties, we must compound some such name as ‘noegenetic’. 1931F. Aveling in W. Rose Outl. Mod. Knowl. viii. 336 The noegenetic principles, though accounting for the origin of knowledge, do not cover the entire cognitive field. 1936F. Banks Conduct & Ability xii. 232 Clearly some word like eduction was needed to distinguish this noegenetic process from the ‘merely associative’. Ibid. xv. 308 The third principle of noegenesis will also be found adequate to explain the inventions of science. 1938Mind XLVII. 378 Very proper complaint is registered to the effect that Psychologists have always neglected the problem of the perception of relations. Here again Prof. Spearman may reflect with pride on his own contribution in the shape of the ‘noegenetic laws’. 1972L. S. Hearnshaw in Cox & Dyson 20th-Cent. Mind I. vii. 235 Spearman contributed a powerful and erudite analysis, and though once again his theory of noegenesis, or creative intelligence, has not altogether stood up to subsequent scrutiny, it proved practically useful. 1973H. J. Eysenck Inequality of Man ii. 45 Spearman (1927) tried to lay down in his ‘noegenetic laws’ the essence of this cognitive ability. |
