顿悟与问题表征的转变

阐述了解决残缺棋盘问题的顿悟过程。该实验的结果证明，顿悟过程中需要发现一种正确的问题表征，即对等性问题空间，为了发现这一表征，被试必须使问题表征从“铺试问题空间”转变为“元水平的问题空间”．被试在这两个空间中进行搜索时，必须有很强的限制，使搜索成为有高度选择性的搜索，才能最终在元水平问题空间中发现正确的表征。本研究还发现，被试的搜索并不总是知觉驱动的，有时是概念驱动的，而且后者的迁移性更高。

INSIGHT AND CHANGE OF PROBLEM REPRESENTATION

This paper described the process of attaining the insight required to solve the Mutilated Chickboard (MC) problem,The results of the experiment showed that attaining insight requires discovering a correct problem representation,the parity space, In order to find the space,subjects have to change representation from the space of all possible coverings to the meta-level space of possible problem spaces for the MC problem. To find an appropriate representation, the subjects have to obtain strong constraints that guide search and make it highly selective. We also found that subjects were not always simply perceptually driven, Processing driven by concepts were higher transferable than by perception.
