Overtly prompting people to “think in opposites” supports insight problem solving
Thinking and Reasoning 26 (1):31-67 (2019)
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the hypothesis that “thinking in opposites” might facilitate insight problem solving. For example, if the image relating to a problem is oriented horizontally, it may...Other Versions
