    "title": "Interacting physically with insight problems does not affect problem solving process",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "So-called insight problems are believed to tap into sudden,\ncreative thinking that is crucial for real problems. In contrast,\nrecent findings suggest that solving insight problems depends\non the same cognitive mechanisms that underpin systematic,\nanalytical thinking. However, existing studies may have low\necological validity, because insight problems were usually\npresented in static formats (on paper, computer screen) which\nallowed no physical interaction with the problem elements.\nThis study administered 8 established insight problems either\nin the static or interactive variants. It also probed two markers\nof analytical thinking: working memory capacity and reasoning\nability. Virtually no difference in performance was observed\nbetween the static and interactive variants of insight problems\nwith regard to (1) solution rate, (2) subjective experience of\nsuddenness, pleasure, and relief accompanying the solutions,\nas well as (3) correlations with the working memory capacity\nand analytical reasoning tests. These results suggest that\nexternalized/embodied/situated factors play no substantial role\nin insight problem solving and the crucial parts of this process\nseem to occur in the mind of a solver.",
