Abstract:
This thesis reports the results of seven experiments that explore insight problem-solving. Insight problems are characterised as ill-defined problems that present difficulty to most people even though they possess the knowledge needed to solve the problem. Insight problems were first described in the early part of the twentieth century by Gestalt psychologists who emphasised that the answer tended to suddenly occur to people in an “aha experience”.
