Subclaims¶

q3 i? Intuition and Suddenness reliably differentiated non-computerized insight from analytic problems, while Pleasure did not differentiate them. → Adam Chuderski 2021

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Validation comparing ratings after 244 correct solutions on interactive insight problems and 168 correct solutions on paper-and-pencil analytic problems. Suddenness also distinguished the categories (BF10 > 999 both ways); Pleasure always exceeded 10 and did not differentiate the problems.

"Intuition did validly differentiate the problem categories, reliably exceeding the criterion value 10 for the insight problems, BF 10 = 86.07, but falling below 10 for the analytic problems, BF 10 > 999."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Subjective experience on the easiest RAPM items matches that of insight problems, while difficult items resemble analytic problems — related
• Across participants, RAPM scores correlate positively with Certainty but not with Intuition or Suddenness — related
• Pleasure and Certainty ratings are strongly inter-correlated, questioning the independence of the subjective-experience dimensions — related
• Suddenness and Certainty ratings decrease as RAPM item difficulty increases, with Certainty showing a strong effect — related
• Correct RAPM solutions yield higher Suddenness and Certainty and lower Intuition than incorrect solutions, with a Certainty-by-difficulty interaction — related
• Mean solution time almost perfectly predicts item-level Suddenness and Certainty, and fast performance signals easy items while deliberation signals hard ones — related
• Intuition ratings are unaffected by RAPM item difficulty, indicating stable strategy across items — related
