Kolumnentitel: EYE MOVEMENTS IN LSC-PROBLEMS Eye movements in solving letter series completion problems

چکیده
Letter series completion problems (LSC-problems) are common tasks to measure peoples’ ability in problem solving. The process of inductive reasoning in solving such problems was investigated in an experiment by the means of eye movement analysis. We developed an eye movement model on the basis of a process model by Simon and Kotovsky (1963). Our model assigns specific eye movements to three different solution steps. The predictions of the model are empirically examined and the results show that eye movements can serve as an indicator of the predicted solution steps.

The Einstellung effect in anagram problem solving: evidence from eye movements
The Einstellung effect is the counterintuitive finding that prior experience or domain-specific knowledge can under some circumstances interfere with problem solving performance. This effect has been demonstrated in several domains of expertise including medicine and chess. In the present study we explored this effect in the context of a simplified anagram problem solving task. Participants sol...
متن کاملAn eye movement study of insight problem solving.
The representational change theory of insight claims that insight problems cause impasses because they mislead problem solvers into constructing inappropriate initial representations. Insight is attained when the initial representation is changed. In the present study (N = 24), we tested three specific implications of these hypotheses against eye movements recorded while participants solved mat...

متن کاملA model of eye movements and visual working memory during problem solving in geometry
The Oculomotor Geometry Reasoning Engine (OGRE) was proposed to model eye movements and visual working memory during problem solving in geometry. OGRE postulates that geometrical elements from diagrams are added to visual working memory when they are scanned. Newly-added elements overwrite elements already in memory. The model was applied to eye-movement patterns of three subjects: two geometry...
