Abstract
We analyze the theoretical models that explain insight as “all-or-none” process of solution finding: Poincare’s model of random recombination, the model of gestalt restructuring and Ya.A. Ponomarev’s bipolar theory. In the framework of Ponomarev’s theory insight is considered as information transfer from intuitive to logical level of thinking. We propose the insight-as-signal model which enriches Ponomarev’s theory with the concept of spreading activation and Schwarz’s feeling-as-information notion. According to insight-as-signal model a problem solution initially appears in subconscious form and manifests itself as an activation pattern in the semantic network. The feeling of insight plays an important role in problem solving: it informs a person that currently activated information matches solution criteria. The proposed model enables to explain not only insightful solutions, but also the cases of solutions without insight or occurrences of “false” insight. We describe three experiments exploring Aha-cueing phenomenon that was theoretically deduced from insight-as-signal model.
