{"pk":24371,"title":"Predicting Insight during Physical Reasoning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"When people solve problems, they may try multiple invalid solutions before finally having an insight about the correct solution. Insight problem-solving is an example of the flexibility of the human mind which remains unmatched by machines. In this paper, we present a novel experimental paradigm for studying insight problem-solving behavior in a physical reasoning domain. Using this paradigm and several data-driven analyses, we seek to quantify what it means to have an insight during physical problem-solving and identify behavioral traces that predict subjective insight ratings collected from human participants. This project aims to provide the first steps towards a computationally informed theory of insight problems solving.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Psychology; Creativity; Problem Solving; Reasoning; Computer-based experiment; Qualitative Analysis; Statistics"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1rn5v7pj","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Solim","middle_name":"","last_name":"LeGris","name_suffix":"","institution":"NYU","department":""},{"first_name":"Brenden","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lake","name_suffix":"","institution":"NYU","department":""},{"first_name":"Todd","middle_name":"M","last_name":"Gureckis","name_suffix":"","institution":"New York University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24371/galley/13968/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24371/galley/21460/download/"}]}
