Creative strategies in problem solving

چکیده
Three experiments investigated how individuals solve “shape” problems. These problems are not susceptible to a meansends strategy. They consist of a configuration of squares, whose sides consist of separate pieces; and the task is to remove a given number of pieces to leave behind a given number of squares. The paper presents a theory of how individuals develop strategies for these problems. Experiment 1 explored the constraints of symmetry and visual saliency in shape problems. Experiment 2 corroborated the theory’s prediction of a major shift in which knowledge acquired during the evaluation of tactical steps comes to govern the generation of these steps. Experiment 3 showed that participants could be biased to adopt strategies making use of specific tactical steps.
