Insightful Problem Solving in an Asian Elephant
The "aha" moment or the sudden arrival of the solution to a problem is a common human experience. Spontaneous problem solving without evident trial and error behavior in humans and other animals has been referred to as insight. Surprisingly, elephants, thought to be highly intelligent, have failed to exhibit insightful problem solving in previous cognitive studies. We tested whether three Asian...
متن کاملDeconstructing Insight: EEG Correlates of Insightful Problem Solving
BACKGROUND Cognitive insight phenomenon lies at the core of numerous discoveries. Behavioral research indicates four salient features of insightful problem solving: (i) mental impasse, followed by (ii) restructuring of the problem representation, which leads to (iii) a deeper understanding of the problem, and finally culminates in (iv) an "Aha!" feeling of suddenness and obviousness of the solu...
متن کاملUsing microgenetic methods to investigate problem solving in video games
As formative research for the development of a suite of middle school life science video games, we are adapting microgenetic research methods [15] that use repeated, small-scale task-based sessions with participants to document how reasoning and understanding can develop and change in short periods of time. In this study, we are working with students between the ages of 9 and 12, examining the ...
متن کاملPatterns in Children!s Online Behavior and Scientific Problem-Solving: A Large-N Microgenetic Study
The purpose of this study is to investigate the viability of a computer-based system for collecting and analyzing data from large-N microgenetic studies of scientific reasoning. Most studies of children’s scientific problem-solving strategies take place in classroom settings with established norms that homogenize student behavior. Small sample sizes and the limited range of settings limit the g...
متن کاملA Chaotic Neural Network Model of Insightful Problem Solving and the Generation Process of Constraints
The solution of an insightful problem needs a drastic change from the "impasse" to the "insight" stage. It is assumed that in this type of a problem, solvers encounter the impasse stage because of special "constraints" like common sense. Abe, Wajima, and Nakagawa (2003) proposed a model of insight problem solving using a chaotic neural network. The model successfully simulates an insight proble...
