Aha! Insight experience correlates with solution activation in the right hemisphere
EM Bowden, M Jung-Beeman - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2003 - Springer
In one experiment, we tested for an association between semantic activation in the right
hemisphere (RH) and left hemisphere (LH) and the Aha! experience when people recognize …

Getting the right idea: Semantic activation in the right hemisphere may help solve insight problems
Two experiments examined hemispheric differences in information processing that may
contribute to solving insight problems. We propose that right-hemisphere (RH) coarse …

The right hemisphere maintains solution-related activation for yet-to-be-solved problems
In five experiments, we examined the time course of hemispheric differences in solution
activation for insight-like problems. We propose that solving insight problems requires …

Insight is not in the problem: Investigating insight in problem solving across task types
ME Webb, DR Little, SJ Cropper - Frontiers in psychology, 2016 - frontiersin.org
The feeling of insight in problem solving is typically associated with the sudden realization of
a solution that appears obviously correct (Kounios et al.,). Salvi et al. found that a solution …

Neural activity when people solve verbal problems with insight
People sometimes solve problems with a unique process called insight, accompanied by an
“Aha!” experience. It has long been unclear whether different cognitive and neural …

New insights into insight: Neurophysiological correlates of the difference between the intrinsic “aha” and the extrinsic “oh yes” moment
K Rothmaler, R Nigbur, G Ivanova - Neuropsychologia, 2017 - Elsevier
Insight refers to a situation in which a problem solver immediately changes his
understanding of a problem situation. This representational change can either be triggered …

Verbal insight revisited—Dissociable neurocognitive processes underlying solutions accompanied by an AHA! experience with and without prior restructuring
In this paper, we investigate insight problem solving by exploring the subjective AHA!
experience as a function of restructuring of a problem. It has long been assumed that the …

Closing the gap: connecting sudden representational change to the subjective Aha! experience in insightful problem solving
Two hallmarks of insightful problem solving are thought to be suddenness in the emergence
of solution due to changes in problem representation, and the subjective Aha! experience …
