Abstract:
Two experiments tested a total of 509 participants on insight problems
(the radiation problem and the nine-dot problem). Half of the
participants were first exposed to a 1-min movie that included a
subliminal hint. The hint raised the solution rate of people who did
not recognize it. In addition, the way they solved the problem was
affected by the hint. In Experiment 3, a novel technique was introduced
to address some methodological concerns raised by Experiments 1 and 2.
A total of 80 participants solved the 10-coin problem, and half of them
were exposed to a subliminal hint. The hint facilitated solving the
problem, and it shortened the solution time. Some implications of
subliminal priming for research on and theorizing about insight problem
solving are discussed.
