Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An impasse is a situation where the problem solver is stuck and can't find a solution using the usual methods. The experience of facing an impasse can lead to a sudden insight or breakthrough. The other options, road block, heuristic, and algorithm, do not specifically refer to the experience of facing an obstacle that leads to insight.
