Intuition in the Context of Discovery.

Bowers, Kenneth S.; And Others

Cognitive Psychology, v22 n1 p72-110 Jan 1990

A total of 308 undergraduates performed 2 word tasks and a gestalt closure task in a study of intuition. Subjects could respond discriminately to coherence they could not identify and were led by this perception to form a hunch or hypothesis. Clues to coherence evidently activate problem-solving networks. (SLD)
