MacGregor, James N.; Cunningham, John B. – Journal of Problem Solving, 2009
Insight problem solving is characterized by restructuring. We hypothesized that the difficulty of rebus puzzles could be manipulated by systematically varying the restructurings required to solve them. An experiment using rebus puzzles varied the number of restructurings (one or two) required to solve a problem and the level at which the…

van Rooij, Iris; Schactman, Alissa; Kadlec, Helena; Stege, Ulrike – Journal of Problem Solving, 2006
The Euclidean Traveling Salesperson Problem (E-TSP) is a useful task to study how humans optimize when faced with computational intractability. It has been found that humans are capable of finding high-quality solutions for E-TSP in a relatively short time and with seemingly little cognitive effort. This observation has led to two general…
