In Search of Insight.
Kaplan, Craig A.; Simon, Herbert A.
Cognitive Psychology, v22 n3 p374-419 Jul 1990
Attaining the insight needed to solve the Mutilated Checkerboard problem, which requires discovery of an effective problem representation (EPR), is described. Performance on insight problems can be predicted from the availability of generators and constraints in the search for an EPR. Data for 23 undergraduates were analyzed. (TJH)
