  • The Effects of Number and Level of Restructuring in Insight Problem Solving 
    MacGregor, James N.; Cunningham, J. Barton (The Journal of Problem Solving, 2009)
    Insight problem solving is characterized by restructuring. We hypothesized that the difficulty of rebus puzzles could be manipulated by systematically varying the restructurings required to solve them. An experiment using ...
  • An Experimental Comparison of Approaches to Training Insight 
    MacGregor, James N.; Cunningham, J. Barton; Walinga, Jennifer (Creativity. Theories - Research - Applications, 2020)
    The purpose of the research was to investigate different types of training in insight problem solving. In doing so, we reviewed the literature on experimental tests of procedures for training insight problem solving. The ...
  • Heuristics for Comparing the Lengths of Completed E-TSP Tours: Crossings and Areas 
    MacGregor, James N. (Journal of Problem Solving, 2017)
    The article reports three experiments designed to explore heuristics used in comparing the lengths of completed Euclidean Traveling Salesman Problem (E-TSP) tours. The experiments used paired comparisons in which participants ...
