  1. The important role of averting fixedness in the insight problem solving process: Verification of the dual factors theory with eye movements during a matchstick arithmetic problemTseng, C. C., Chen, C. H., *Chen, H. C., Sung, Y. T., & Chang, K. E. (2014). Verification of the dual factors theory with eye movements during a matchstick arithmetic insight problem. Thinking Skills and Creativity, 13,129-140. doi: 10.1016/j.tsc.2014.04.004(SSCI, IF=1.455, ranking 33/219 in “Education & Educational research”)

  2. How do the successful participants solve the insight problem? • Representational Change Theory (Previous Study) • Participants form inappropriate representations at the beginning of the insight problem solving process and that these initial representations need to be transformed to discover the solution. • Dual factors theory (This Study) • In addition to representational change, averting fixedness is also crucial to problem solving.

  4. Experiment 2 • The first experiment support the notion that fixation and representation change are related, while the results of experiment 2 provide empirical support for the direct influence of fixation on representational change. • The results from both of our experiments indicate that a second factor, fixedness averting, is as important as representational change to the insight problem solving process.
