Abstract

The present study aims to elucidate whether insight problem solving could be facilitated by the cognitive component of humour. The authors take interest in whether the logical mechanisms of humour can affect how fast insight problems are solved. To that end, the authors conducted two experiments where participants solved insight problems after watching visual humorous stimuli such as videos and slideshows. The first experiment demonstrated the overall impact of facilitation by humour on insight problem solving; however, it did not show any difference in how particular logical mechanisms of humour affect the solution time of insight problems. The second experiment showed that the cognitive component of humour could selectively affect insight problems whose difficulty stems from different sources. These results suggest that the cognitive component of humour, when operationalised as logical mechanisms and schema switching, contributes to solving insight problems.

有趣吗?想想吧!幽默认知机制对洞察力问题的选择性影响。
本研究旨在阐明幽默的认知成分能否促进洞察力问题的解决。作者对幽默的逻辑机制是否会影响洞察力问题的解决速度很感兴趣。为此,作者进行了两项实验,让参与者在观看视频和幻灯片等视觉幽默刺激后解决洞察力问题。第一个实验证明了幽默对洞察力问题解决的整体促进作用,但并没有显示幽默的特定逻辑机制对洞察力问题解决时间的影响有什么不同。第二个实验表明,幽默的认知成分可以选择性地影响那些难度来源不同的洞察力问题。这些结果表明,当幽默的认知成分被操作化为逻辑机制和图式转换时,它有助于洞察力问题的解决。
