Öllinger, Michael; Jones, Gary; Faber, Amory H.; Knoblich, Günther – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
The 8-coin insight problem requires the problem solver to move 2 coins so that each coin touches exactly 3 others. Ormerod, MacGregor, and Chronicle (2002) explained differences in task performance across different versions of the 8-coin problem using the availability of particular moves in a 2-dimensional search space. We explored 2 further…
