Many brainstorming techniques have a stage during which criticism is withheld, to avoid people self-censoring out of fear ideas that were good (or which might spark good ideas in others).

This probably doesn't work.

Interesting study. Does that apply only to techniques that have no later 'criticism' stage, or does it apply to all techniques that have at least one 'no ciriticism' stage?

Having a poke at Google Scholar gives a mixed response:

this meta analysis says that, in general, most brainstorming techniques work poorly.

this paper suggests it can work, however, if done electronically in a certain way.
