| Abstract | Previous research has revealed that burdens on working memory ironically facilitate insight problem solving, while the opposite results have also been obtained. The discrepancy might be due to the dependent variables. These previous studies mainly focused on very rough first approximate measures, such as the solution rates and/or time as dependent variables. In this study, we aimed at the effects of working memory load on insight problem solving, focusing on the rates of constraint relaxation and its time course differences that have been proved to be more sensitive to the fluctuations during insight problem solving (Suzuki & Hiraki, 2003). The results showed that burdens on phonological loop or central executive did not produce facilitative effect. However, the burdens on the different components of working memory resulted in different relaxation patterns. |
