Radiation source Site of tumor in stomach wall Solution to the
tumor problem
When people were asked to solve the tumor problem, which group(s) were most likely to solve the problem?
people that had encountered other problems about tumors that were unrelated to the current problem in deep structure.
the group that read the “general and fortress” solution and were told to apply it to the tumor problem.
the group told nothing about the fortress problem as they were less likely to show mental set.
any group that read the “general and fortress” solution prior to reading the tumor problem.
Question 19
Participants were given a candle, a book of matches, and a box of tacks. Their task was to find a way to attach the candle to the wall of the room, at eye level, so that it would burn properly and illuminate the room:

Solution: [Wall] Tack Tacks box
Both groups were equally likely to reach the solution.
Participants who were given the materials with a box full of tacks were more likely to solve the problem.
Participants who were given the materials with a pile of tacks and an empty box were more likely to solve the problem.
Both groups were equally likely to reach a solution, but their solutions differed.
Question 20
When solving insight problems, warmth judgments __________ prior to reaching the correct solution and __________ prior to reaching an incorrect solution.
rise gradually; rise gradually
rise gradually; rise suddenly
rise suddenly; rise suddenly
rise suddenly; rise gradually
Question 21
Which step of creativity has been linked to release of dopamine and the reward system?
Illumination
Preparation
Incubation
Verification
Question 22
Dr. Ana Logue is studying potential ways to make analogy use more likely. She has participants read the “general and fortress” story before trying to solve the tumor problem.
Across her participants, she attempts to induce a “relational mindset” at different stages of the task. Which group of her participants is most likely to solve the tumor problem?
Those who had a relational mindset induced a little while after reading the fortress story but before the tumor problem.
Those who had a relational mindset induced after reading the fortress story and trying to solve the tumor problem.
Those who had a relational mindset induced while reading the fortress story.
Those who had a relational mindset induced while reading about the tumor problem.
Question 23
In one study, participants were given a series of “insight problems” to solve. As participants worked on each problem, they rated their progress by using a judgment of “warmth” (“I’m getting warmer…, I’m getting warmer…”).

Participants struggled to solve insight problems.
This data provides evidence against Wallas’s proposal of a preparation stage to problem solving.
When you say AHA! it means you have discovered a new approach.
Participants rarely experienced a feeling of insight.
Question 24
In chess, which move is best at any point in the game depends on what your opponent will be able to do in response to your move, and then what you’ll do next. To make sure you’re choosing the best move, you need to think ahead through a few cycles of play. Once the game is under way, though, there will be roughly 700 million possibilities for how the game could unfold over only three cycles of play.
What can we learn about the problem-solving process from this?
Question 24 options:
For most problems, a problem solver can search through the entire problem space to reach the solution. Chess is the exception.
A problem solver needs a way to narrow the search through a problem space.
Sometimes we need to create small subproblems in order to reach a solution.
Question 25
Which of the following is NOT a benefit that a problem-solving set can provide?
narrowing of the problem space
helping to better define problems
encouraging the use of routine strategies for solving typical problems
all of the above are benefits
