洞察力表征变化理论声称，洞察力问题会导致僵局，因为它们会误导问题解决者构建不适当的初始表征。当最初的表示发生改变时，就会获得洞察力。在本研究（N = 24）中，我们测试了这些假设对参与者解决火柴算术问题时记录的眼球运动的三个具体影响。结果与预测一致，提供了与先前使用解决率和解决时间的发现相一致的证据。洞察力的替代理论可以解释个体发现，但只有表征变化理论才能解释表现数据和眼动数据。本研究还表明，眼动记录为洞察问题解决过程提供了一个重要的新窗口。
The representational change theory of insight claims that insight problems cause impasses because they mislead problem solvers into constructing inappropriate initial representations. Insight is attained when the initial representation is changed. In the present study (N = 24), we tested three specific implications of these hypotheses against eye movements recorded while participants solved matchstick arithmetic problems. The results were consistent with the predictions, providing converging evidence with prior findings using solution rates and solution times. Alternative theories of insight can explain individual findings, but only the representational change theory accounts for both the performance data and the eye movement data. The present study also suggests that eye movement recordings provide an important new window into processes of insight problem solving.
