Abstract

We extend previous work on insight problem solving by developing a computational model that captures a dynamical process by which the cognitive system searches through problem solving strategies. Using complexity measures, we compare time-evolving output of this model to human-generated data to demonstrate the dynamical nature of insight problem solving.
