چکیده
This paper deals with an investigation of specific mechanisms of insight problem solving. We take the functioning of working memory slave system as such mechanisms. In our research we use a dual task method as a cognitive monitor (D. Kahneman) to fixing of microdynamics for study mechanisms of thinking processes. We gathered data showing that modal-specific blocks of working memory are mainly used during insight problem-solving, while solving algorithmic problems uses mainly executive control.
