创造性思维的具身培养——手势对空间顿悟问题解决的影响

The Embodied Cultivation of Creative Thinking—The Influence of Gestures on the Solution of Spatial Insight Problems

本研究通过三个实验考察了手势对空间顿悟问题解决的影响。实验1从空间维度转换的视角出发,探讨角度模拟手势对六根火柴问题解决的影响;实验2从空间方位移动的视角出发,考察V形节拍手势对肿瘤–镭射问题解决的影响;实验3从空间布局的视角出发,探索手影模拟手势对17只动物问题解决的影响。研究结果表明,手势在空间顿悟问题的解决过程中同时起着工具性与功能性作用;与问题解决一致的手势参与了顿悟的“特殊处理”过程,提升了空间顿悟问题的解决水平。将来,在顿悟能力培养的过程中应更加重视身体运动及身体训练的作用。

This study aims to explore the effect of gestures on the solution of spatial insight problems. Experiment 1 investigates whether the gesture simulation of different angles can solve the six matches problem according to the spatial characteristics of gestures. Experiment 2 explores whether the beat gesture of playing the “V” or inverted “V” with music can promote the resolution of the tumor-laser problem according to the directionality of gestures. Experiment 3 makes use of the description and simulation function of gestures to investigate whether the simulated gesture of the opponent image can solve the 17 animals problem. The results show that the gestures play an instrumental and functional role in the process of solving the spatial insight problems. The gestures consistent with problem solving improve the solution level of spatial insight problems that are involved in the “Special Process”. In the future, more attention should be paid to physical movement and physical training in the cultivation of Creative Thinking.
