    "title": "An Insight into Language: Investigating Lexical and Morphological Effects in\nCompound Remote Associate Problem Solving",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Understanding the processes leading to insight has remained\none of psychology’s greatest challenges. In this study, we\nexamined how different lexical properties affect cognitive\nprocesses involved in a popular class of insight problems:\nCompound Remote Associates (CRAs). These properties were\nfamiliarity, lexeme meaning dominance, and semantic\ntransparency. We found that a higher proportion of problems\nwere solved when they were presented beginning with the most\nfamiliar cues, but not when they began with right-headed\ndominant or the most semantically transparent cues. Further,\nwe found that participants focused their efforts\ndisproportionately on first and last cues, that subjective ratings\nof insight decreased as trial times elapsed, and that the\nmagnitude of reported insight increased with the number of\ncues successfully solved. This suggests that participants can\nmonitor their progress in such problems. These results contest\nlongstanding assumptions of requisite periods of impasse and\nthe absence of incremental progress in insightful problem\nsolving.",
