顿悟问题解决的原型事件激活:自动还是控制

Activation of Prototypal Matters in Insight Problem Solving:an Automatic or Controllable Processing?

通过两个实验来考察四等分问题解决过程中原型事件及其启发信息的激活是自动加工还是控制加工。实验一的目的是考察原型学习量的增加是否会促进原型事件及其启发信息的自动激活,实验二的目的是考察提示对原型事件及其启发信息激活的影响。实验结果表明:原型事件及其所包含的启发信息的激活是顿悟的重要条件,原型的激活是自动加工的结果,而原型中所包含的启发信息的激活是控制加工的结果。

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the process of the activation of the prototypal matters and the heuristic information embodied in prototypal matters is automatic or controllable. Experiment 1 investigated whether the activation of the prototypal matters and heuristic information would be facilitated with the increasing of the amount of prototypal matters the subjects solved; Experiment 2 investigated whether the hint of the connection between prototypal matters and quartering problem solving would influence the activation of the prototypal matters and heuristic information, The results indicated that（ 1 ）the activation of the prototypal matters and their heuristic information are the key to insight problem solving; （2）the activation of the prototypal matters came as a result of automatic processing; （3）the activation of heuristic information in prototypal matters may be the result of automatic processing.
