Neuroscientists have shown that brain wave activity and the sites of brain activation differ in research participants as they solve problems with insight as compared with non-insight strategies.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neuroscientific studies have demonstrated that different patterns of brain wave activity and distinct areas of the brain are activated when individuals solve problems using insight (sudden realization of a problem's solution) compared to when they use more methodical, non-insight (step-by-step analytical) strategies. This suggests that the cognitive processes underlying insight problem solving are distinct from those involved in non-insight problem solving.
