Research on insight problem solving examines how new ideas are
generated to solve problems that initially resist the application
of prior knowledge or analogue solutions. In the laboratory,
insight problems are designed to create an impasse; overcoming the
impasse is sometimes accompanied by a distinctive phenomenological
experience, the so-called Aha! moment. Insight: On the Origins of
New Ideas presents research that captures these episodes of insight
under laboratory conditions and informs models that account for
their emergence. Descriptions and analyses of episodes of discovery
both in and out of the laboratory are included to provide a general
overview of insight. Featuring contributions from leading
researchers, the volume debates the relative importance of
intelligence and working memory, the development of an alternative
interpretation of the problem based on deliberate analyses and
heuristics, and unconscious inferences in the emergence of insight.
These discussions generate new testable hypotheses to shed light on
the cognitive processes underpinning insight, along with concrete
methodological recommendations that, together, map a productive
programme of future research. This book will be of interest to
students and researchers of thinking and reasoning - specifically
those interested in insight and creative problem solving.
