    "title": "Using Puzzle Video Games to Study Cognitive Processes in Human Insight and Creative Problem-Solving",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Classical approaches to studying insight problem-solving typically use\nspecialized problems (e.g., nine-dot problem, compound-remote\nassociates task) as stimuli together with verbal reports from\nsubjects during problem-solving to reveal their thought processes,\npossibly adding other task-related metrics such as completion rate and\nphysiological measures like eye fixation and neural activity. This\napproach has led to the claims that insight and creative thought\nrequire impasse and mental restructuring. What is missing from this\nliterature is a cognitive process model of insight, and one\nreason for the lack of such a model is the lack of a unified,\nscalable, and tunable experimental framework with which to study human\ncreative problem-solving with higher fidelity. In this paper, we\nintroduce ESCAPE, an experimental paradigm using puzzle video games as\nstimuli which allow for the collection of process data that can serve\nas a basis for computational models. We have specifically developed a\nset of puzzle games based on this paradigm and conducted experiments\nthat demonstrate the utility of the approach by revealing a set of\ncomputational principles that need to be accounted for by a theory of\ncreative problems and the computational models based on it.",
