最近有许多研究结果表明，未解决的问题，或更普遍的开放目标，影响认知，即使当前任务与最初设定目标的任务无关。据推测，开放的目标会影响什么信息进入解决问题的过程。三项研究旨在探讨开放目标对问题相关信息获取的影响。结果发现，问题相关的信息，或暗示，在第二个任务中隐含的尝试之间解决问题的辅助解决问题。这种效应不能归因于参与者发现操纵后的策略行为，因为大多数参与者并没有意识到这种关系。这项研究的影响进行了讨论，包括我们的洞察力，孵化，转移和创造力的理解的潜在贡献。
There have been a number of recent findings indicating that unsolved problems, or open goals more generally, influence cognition even when the current task has no relation to the task in which the goal was originally set. It was hypothesized that open goals would influence what information entered the problem-solving process. Three studies were conducted to establish the effect of open goals on the acquisition of problem-relevant information. It was found that problem-relevant information, or hints, presented implicitly in a 2nd task in between attempts at solving problems aided problem solving. This effect cannot be attributed to strategic behavior after participants caught on to the manipulation, as most participants were not aware of the relationship. The implications of this research are discussed, including potential contributions to our understanding of insight, incubation, transfer, and creativity.
