Insight Is Not in the Problem: Investigating Insight in Problem Solving across Task Types
The feeling of insight in problem solving is typically associated with the sudden realization of a solution that appears obviously correct (Kounios et al., 2006). Salvi et al. (2016) found that a solution accompanied with sudden insight is more likely to be correct than a problem solved through conscious and incremental steps. However, Metcalfe (1986) indicated that participants would often pre...
متن کاملInvestigating the effect of mental set on insight problem solving.
Mental set is the tendency to solve certain problems in a fixed way based on previous solutions to similar problems. The moment of insight occurs when a problem cannot be solved using solution methods suggested by prior experience and the problem solver suddenly realizes that the solution requires different solution methods. Mental set and insight have often been linked together and yet no atte...
متن کاملIntuition in insight and noninsight problem solving.
People’s metacognitions, both before and during problem solving, may be of importance in motivating and guiding problem-solving behavior. These metacognitions could also be diagnostic for distinguishing among different classes of problems, each perhaps controlled by different cognitive processes. In the present experiments, intuitions on classic insight problems were compared with those on noni...
متن کاملDynamics and constraints in insight problem solving.
This article reports 2 experiments that investigated performance on a novel insight problem, the 8-coin problem. The authors hypothesized that participants would make certain initial moves (strategic moves) that seemed to make progress according to the problem instructions but that nonetheless would guarantee failure to solve the problem. Experiment 1 manipulated the starting state of the probl...
متن کاملAsymmetrical Analogical Transfer in Insight Problem Solving
We report three experiments that examine transfer between structurally and superficially similar insight problems. Experiment 1 showed spontaneous positive transfer from a difficult insight problem to an easier one, but not vice versa. Experiment 2 replicated this asymmetry when participants were given an explicit hint as to the relatedness of the problems. Experiment 3 introduced physical prop...
