    "abstract": "We investigated what happens when the spontaneous\nencoding of a problem is incongruent with its solving\nstrategy. We created word problems from which two distinct\nsemantic representations could be abstracted. Only one of\nthese representations was consistent with the solving strategy.\nWe tested whether participants could recode a semantically\nincongruent representation in order to access another, less\nsalient, solving strategy. In experiment 1, participants had to\nsolve arithmetic problems and to indicate which problems\nwere unsolvable. In experiment 2, participants received\nsolved problems and had to decide whether the solution was\nappropriate or not. In both experiments, participants had more\ndifficulties acknowledging that problems inducing an\nincongruent representation could be solved than they had for\nproblems inducing a congruent representation. This was\nconfirmed by response times. These results highlight how\nsemantic aspects can lead even adults to fail or succeed in the\nsolving of arithmetic problems requiring basic mathematical\nknowledge.",
