abstract = {Problem solving can be understood as a very active learning
strategy which is also being employed in education, even
though the mechanisms behind it are poorly understood
(Loyens, Kirschner, $\&$ Paas, 2012). Insight in problem
solving is often heralded as a moment of blinding
understanding which generates a great deal of motivation
(Liljedahl, 2005). Research on insight focuses on these
moments, examining the cognitive processes that lead to this
feeling of sudden understanding alongside the solution, and
on methods of eliciting these electrifying sensations
reliably (e.g., Webb, Little, $\&$ Cropper, 2017). An
important consideration in insight research is the
considerable differences in operationalizations of
“insight” between studies. For example, Mednick (1962)
operationalised insight/creativity as the ability to solve a
verbal association problem (the remote associates task,
RAT), in which participants are presented with three
remotely associated words, and are required to find a single
fourth word that provides a common link between the three
(e.g., cottage, blue, goat-cheese). If the words were
already closely associated, it would not require creativity
to find the missing link. Insight has therefore sometimes
been operationalized as a sudden switch from a state of
incomprehension, to a state of comprehension, which might be
induced by presenting the solution (Auble et al., 1979; Webb
et al., 2018). This definition has held for a long time,
with substantial shifts in more recent years. Increasingly,
the presence of a subjective ‘‘aha!’’ experience is
considered necessary to interpret a solution to a problem as
an insight (e.g., Bowden $\&$ Jung-Beeman, 2003). Finally,
some researchers have proposed that insight does not
necessarily include a state of incomprehension,but needs
mental restructuring (Wills, Estow, Soraci, $\&$ Garcia,
2006).},
