Ash, Ivan K.; Cushen, Patrick J.; Wiley, Jennifer – Journal of Problem Solving, 2009
In the present article, we articulate three assumptions underlying theories proposing that restructuring processes play a key role in insightful problem solving: representational difficulty, representational change, and discontinuity in solution processes. We argue that these assumptions need empirical validation to justify the proposition of…
