Intelligence and creativity in problem solving: The importance of test
This paper discusses the importance of three features of psychometric tests for cognition research: construct definition, problem space, and knowledge domain. Definition of constructs, e.g., intelligence or creativity, forms the theoretical basis for test construction. Problem space, being well or ill-defined, is determined by the cognitive abilities considered to belong to the constructs, e.g ...
Tracing Cognitive Processes in Insight Problem Solving: Using GAMs and
1. Introduction. In cognitive science, the temporal dynamics of problem-solving processes have always been an important topic of investigation. Most problems are assumed to be solved gradually, by piecing together information in order to arrive at a solution (Newell and Simon 1972).To investigate these problems, several tools have been developed, which allow for the observation of each step of ...
Restructuring processes and Aha! experiences in insight problem solving
There are two main approaches to studying insight problem-solving. According to one approach, the abrupt shift in representation or sudden restructuring is a defining feature of insightful ...
How to Detect Insight Moments in Problem Solving Experiments
School of Psychology, The University of Queensland, St. Lucia, QLD, Australia; Arguably, it is not possible to study insight moments during problem solving without being able to accurately detect when they occur (Bowden and Jung-Beeman, 2007).Despite over a century of research on the insight moment, there is surprisingly little consensus on the best way to measure them in real-time experiments.
Incubation and interactivity in insight problem solving
Incubation. When struggling to solve a problem, it may pay off to leave it aside for some time before attempting to discover a solution. In problem-solving research, the initial period of unsuccessful labour is sometimes referred as a 'preparation' phase and the interpolated break period the 'incubation' phase (Wallas, 1926).There is evidence that taking a break from the CNP after ...
The Process of Problem Solving
The findings from this second experiment showed that people tend to go through two different stages when solving a series of problems. People begin their problem-solving process in a generative manner during which they explore various tactics — some successful and some not. Then they use their experience to narrow down their choices of ...
Teaching of General Psychology: Problem Solving
The nature of human problem solving has been studied by psychologists for the past hundred years. Early conceptual work of German Gestalt psychologists (e.g., Duncker, 1935; Wertheimer, 1959) and experimental research on problem solving in the 1960s and 1970s typically operated with relatively simple, laboratory tasks (e.g., Duncker's famous "X-ray" problem; Ewert and Lambert's 1932 ...
Experiments and Relational Studies in Problem Solving: A Meta-Analysis
Meta-Analysis of Problem-Solving Studies: A Critical Response. G. Goldin. Education. 1992. In the past decade, meta-analysis has been applied with increasing frequency to the synthesis of educational research findings. My initial skepticism of its use has, if anything, grown greater during…. Expand. 26. 2 Excerpts.
Editorial: Novel Approaches for Studying Creativity in Problem-Solving
The Research Topic contains 27 articles (20 Original Research articles, one Case Report, one Review, and five methodological or theoretical contributions). Twelve address questions of creative cognition, covering insight, divergent thinking, and problem solving.

Analysing Complex Problem-Solving Strategies from a Cognitive
Complex problem solving (CPS) is considered to be one of the most important skills for successful learning. In an effort to explore the nature of CPS, this study aims to investigate the role of inductive reasoning (IR) and combinatorial reasoning (CR) in the problem-solving process of students using statistically distinguishable exploration strategies in the CPS environment.
Action research in social psychology.
This paper addresses the connection between action research and social psychology. Action research is a means of conducting research that focuses on solving a problem. Action researchers partner with those working in settings, such as organizations or schools, so that, together, they can better understand how people are interacting and identify means for improvement. Social psychologists also ...
A Companion to Cognitive Science
Second, problem solving often involves attempting different ways to solve the problem. Put more formally, a problem has four components. First, there is an initial state. This is the person's state of knowledge at the start of a problem. Second, there is the goal state: the goal that the person wishes to achieve.

Real World Problem-Solving
2.2. Analytical problem-solving. In psychology and neuroscience, problem-solving broadly refers to the inferential steps taken by an agent 4 that leads from a given state of affairs to a desired goal state (Barbey and Barsalou, 2009).The agent does not immediately know how this goal can be reached and must perform some mental operations (i.e., thinking) to determine a solution (Duncker, 1945).

Problem-solving research in the field of psychology has been closely linked to laboratory investigations throughout its development. However, there is a questionable conceptual assumption underlying this commitment to the laboratory, namely the assumption that one can ...

Additional Problem Solving Strategies:. Abstraction - refers to solving the problem within a model of the situation before applying it to reality.; Analogy - is using a solution that solves a similar problem.; Brainstorming - refers to collecting an analyzing a large amount of solutions, especially within a group of people, to combine the solutions and developing them until an optimal ...
Experimental problem solving: a plausible approach for conventional
For this, each conventional experiment is presented as an experimental problem. The experimental problem solving approach thus integrates and fosters conceptual understanding, procedural understanding, experimental skills, cognitive processes, and overall problem solving ability. In this paper, the author presents details of the experimental ...
A Problem-Solving Experiment
A problem-solving experiment is a learning activity that uses experimental design to solve an authentic problem. It combines two evidence-based teaching strategies: problem-based learning and inquiry-based learning. The use of problem-based learning and scientific inquiry as an effective pedagogical tool in the science classroom has been well established and strongly supported by research ...

Rebus puzzles as insight problems
Research on insight—the phenomenon of suddenly solving an apparently intransigent problem—has been hampered because stimulus problems have been few, ad hoc, heterogeneous, and difficult to solve. Responding to the need for a larger pool of problems of a similar type and of varying level of difficulty, we report an experiment testing the validity of rebuses as insight problems. A rebus ...
Psychology Of Everyday Problem Solving Research Paper
This research paper reviews developments in the psychology of everyday problem solving. The adjective 'everyday' is interpreted by contrast with the puzzles and academic tasks that have been the main focus of psychological problem solving research. This leads to an emphasis on the relation between planning and action, and between the mental ...
