本文报告了两个实验，考察了一种新的洞察力问题--8枚硬币问题的性能。作者假设，参与者会做出某些最初的行动(战略行动)，这些行动似乎根据问题说明取得了进展，但仍然保证不能解决问题。实验1操纵了问题的开始状态，并表明当有这样的战略举措时，总体解决率较低。实验2表明，未能利用正确的第一步动作的视觉暗示也与策略动作的可用性有关。结果是按照以前应用于9点问题的信息处理框架来解释的。作者认为，除了操作不适当的约束外，对洞察力问题解决的全面描述必须包含一种动态，将寻求解决方案的活动引向约束。
This article reports 2 experiments that investigated performance on a novel insight problem, the 8-coin problem. The authors hypothesized that participants would make certain initial moves (strategic moves) that seemed to make progress according to the problem instructions but that nonetheless would guarantee failure to solve the problem. Experiment 1 manipulated the starting state of the problem and showed that overall solution rates were lower when such strategic moves were available. Experiment 2 showed that failure to capitalize on visual hints about the correct first move was also associated with the availability of strategic moves. The results are interpreted in terms of an information-processing framework previously applied to the 9-dot problem. The authors argue that in addition to the operation of inappropriate constraints, a full account of insight problem solving must incorporate a dynamic that steers solution-seeking activity toward the constraints.
