Problem-Reformulation Training and Visualization Training with Insight Problems
Wicker, Frank W.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 3, 372-7, Jun 78
Two types of instruction were emphasized in the solution of insight problems. One study directed subjects to reformulate their initial view of the problem to avoid unnecessary assumptions about it; another required visualization of problem components. Results indicated that reformulation instructions contributed to performance, but visualization instructions did not. (Author/JAC)
