Sinopsis

We are all familiar with the feeling of being stuck when a problem we are faced with seems intractable and we are unable to find a solution. But sometimes, a new way of seeing the problem pops into the mind from out of the blue. The missing piece of the puzzle is found, the gap is filled, and the solution is now obvious. This is the insight experience - the Aha! Moment - which has been a source of fascination to those who study problem solving for centuries. Written by leading researchers from around the world, this volume explores cutting-edge perspectives on insight, the processes that underlie it, and the conditions that promote it. Chapters draw on key themes: from attention, to memory and learning, to evolutionary perspectives. Students and researchers in applied, cognitive, and educational psychology, as well as those studying creativity, insight, and cognitive neuroscience, will benefit from these perspectives.

Acerca de los autores

Carola Salvi is an Associate Professor at John Cabot University of Rome, Italy and Faculty Affiliate at the University of Texas at Austin, USA. She studies the neural mechanisms underlying problem solving, creativity and cognitive flexibility. She pioneered the discovery of the 'accuracy effect' of insight and studied its relationship with the sensory system, the involvement of the right temporal lob (using brain stimulation and imaging), and the dopamine system.

Jennifer Wiley is Professor of Psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA. She studies learning, comprehension, metacomprehension, and problem solving. Her research on creativity has explored how expertise can both enable and hinder finding novel solutions, the tension between being able to resist distraction and too much attentional control, and how collaboration can support deeper understanding and innovation.

Steven M. Smith is Professor at Texas A&M University, USA. He has applied his research to eyewitness memory, engineering design, patent law, and humanꟷcomputer interaction. He co-authored the foundational book Creative Cognition: Theory, Research, and Applications (1992), has written numerous transformational papers on context-dependent memory and design fixation, and has delivered invited addresses around the world.
