    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Navigating in a novel environment can serve as an applied\ninsight problem solving task, since many people gain a\nsudden, clear understanding (Aha-moment) of the spatial\nrelations after being lost. With a unique design, we\ntransformed the city center of a medieval German city into a\nvirtual maze. The aim of the study was to test whether a\nspatial decision making task simulating real navigation would\nbe feasible for investigating insight problem solving.\nParticipants learned two pathways which they subsequently\nhad to restructure to find their way to the navigation targets.\nWe found evidence for the restructuring of participants’ prior\nknowledge during the solution attempts. 73% of all problem\nsolvers reported an Aha-moment and there was an error drop\nat the critical intersection by those who had insight. The slope\nof the learning curve was established as a measurement of\ninsightful experiences.",
