- W2612288257 abstract "Cue–Readiness in Insight Problem–Solving Hiroaki Suzuki (susan@ri.aoyama.ac.jp) Keiga Abe (a1297007@cc.aoyama.ac.jp) Department of Education, Aoyama Gakuin University Tokyo 150-8366 JAPAN Kazuo Hiraki (hiraki@idea.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp) Department of Systems Science, The University of Tokyo Tokyo, 153-8902 Michiko Miyazaki (miyazaki@psyche.tp.titech.ac.jp) Tokyo Institute of Technology Tokyo, 152-8552 JAPAN Abstract This paper explores a mechanism underlying cue- readiness in insight problem-solving. Cue-readiness is concerned with situations where previously neglected in- formation suddenly and unexpectedly becomes illumina- tive. From the view point of dynamic constraint relax- ation theory (Suzuki & Hiraki, 1997), this can be ex- plained by constraint relaxation caused by noticing fail- ures. The theory predicts that constraint violations in- crease during the problem-solving process, and that a specific combination of constraint violations takes place which leads people to an insight. In this paper, we exam- ined the time-course differences of frequencies of con- straint violations, and of sensitivity to the crucial infor- mation using a rating task. Although Experiment 1 did not provide supporting evidence, in Experiment 2 we found increased frequency of constraint violations during problem-solving, and that subjects who experienced more failure were more sensitive to crucial information. These results are discussed in terms of other theories of insight. Insight, one of the most outstanding cognitive activi- ties, is more and more a topic within the scope of rig- orous scientific investigation. For the past decade, var- ious approaches have been taken to explore the nature and processes of insight (see, for example, Sternberg & Davidson, 1995). However, there still remains a mystery. People some- times find a crucial cue in a relative early stage of problem-solving, but they cannot make use of it. This cue, however, suddenly and unexpectedly becomes illu- minative at a certain point, leading problem-solvers to an insight. To put it another way, the same cue has differ- ent meanings during the problem-solving process. This can be called “cue-readiness” because it appears analo- gous to developmental readiness in that the effectiveness of instructional intervention depends on the child’s de- velopmental stage. A good example of the cue-readiness is found in Kaplan and Simon (1990). They used the mutilated checkerboard (MC) puzzle as a material. To solve this puzzle, it is crucial to realize the parity of differently col- ored squares. In order to control the ease of noticing par- ity, some subjects in their experiment were given a spe- cial board where a word, Bread or Butter, was printed on each square (bread and butter connote parity), instead of colors black or pink. As they predicted, subjects noticed parity more easily and solved the puzzle more quickly. However, they reported one puzzling result. The times from their first mention of parity to the final solution were longer for these subjects than those who were given a standard checkerboard or blank one. While subjects with a Bread–Butter board took 653 s on average to solve the puzzle from their first mention of parity, those with a standard checkerboard took only 110 s. The problem immediately poses the questions of why people can make use of the crucial cue that they could not do so initially, and what distinguishes the internal states in these two situations. This problem cannot easily be explained by current theories. Theories based on spread of activation presup- pose that the inappropriate problem representations pre- vent problem-solvers from retrieving an important cue. If this explanation is correct, people could solve the puz- zle immediately after noticing the important cue, because the representation of the cue should be activated and the activation spreads over to related information. In the MC puzzle case, subjects could obtain an insight immediately after they mentioned parity. The idea of the prepared-mind proposed by Seifert et al. (1995) appears to be relevant to the cue-readiness problem. According to them, when people find a stan- dard approach inappropriate, they generate failure in- dices that mark initial problem solving attempts as un- successful. These failure indices are presumed to have the special status in long-term memory, in the sense that they are activated for a longer period than other types of memory traces. In the incubation phase where peo- ple stop their initial attempts and are engaged in other activities, a relevant cue is sometimes provided exter- nally, which reminds them of their initial failure and leads them to an AHA experience. We agree that fail- ure and externally provided information play important roles. However, this idea cannot be applied directly to the cue-readiness problem, because their idea deals with a situation where people do not encounter or find cru- cial information in the initial phase but are given that in- formation externally in the incubation phase. The cue- readiness problem is, however, concerned with a situa- tion where people find crucial information in the initial stage. In order to deal with the cue-readiness problem, we have developed a dynamic constraint relaxation theory of insight (Suzuki & Hiraki, 1997; Hiraki & Suzuki, 1998)." @default.
