Title: Funny? Think About It! Selective effect of cognitive mechanisms of humour on insight problems.
Authors: Korovkin, Sergei Y. (AUTHOR), Morozova, Ekaterina N. (AUTHOR), Nikiforova, Olga S. (AUTHOR)

Subjects: Visual perception, Wit & humor, Videos, Problem solving
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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
