頓悟性問題的解決思考在科學研究、工業技術發展等的領域上，扮演了關鍵的趨使進步角色。但過去對頓悟性問題解決規則的建構欠缺具體，或者只針對少數頓悟性問題題型進行解題規則探究。因此，就有必要針對具體的頓悟性問題解決規則進行實質性的探究。準此，本研究目的在對頓悟性問題解題規則分析，及以實徵研究探究解題規則教導提升頓悟性問題解決的效果，本計畫區分為四個研究，分述如後。研究一目的在蒐集大量各類頓悟性問題，並分析頓悟性問題的解題規則。研究二教導參與者由研究一獲得的解題規則，以實驗法檢驗各類規則對頓悟性問題解決的提升效果，此外，也檢驗不同類頓悟性問題解題規則的類化效果(如語文類規則教導是否可提升空間類頓悟性問題表現)。研究三以實驗法檢驗頓悟性問題規則的教導，是否提升效果會類化到擴散性思考，而提升參與者在擴散性思考測驗上的表現。研究四則教導參與者頓悟性問題的結構、形成困境處，及解題技巧，檢驗是否解題技巧的教導可以促使參與者生產出頓悟性問題。
Thinking of insight problems solving plays a key role in making progress in the field of scientific research, and industrial technology development. However, in the past, the structure of insight problem solving rules was not specific; problems solving rules of only a small number of insight problems have been explored. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out empirical studies on specific insight problems solving rules. This study aims to analyze insight problems solving rules, and conduct empirical studies to explore how to enhance insight problem solving performance though teaching problems solving rules. This project is divided into four studies. Study 1 aims to collect a large number of various insight problems and analyze insight problem solving rules. In Study 2, researchers will teach participants the problem solving rules obtained in Study 1, and apply experimental methods to examine if the rules could enhance participants’ insight problem solving ability. In addition, researchers will investigate the generalization effect of different types of insight problem solving rules (e.g., if teaching lexical ambiguity rules could improve the performance of special insight problem solving). In Study 3, researchers will apply experimental methods to examine if the effect of the instruction of insight problem solving rules will generalize to divergent thinking and further enhance the participants’ performance in the divergent thinking test. In Study 4, researchers will teach participants structures, forming impasse, and key components of insight problems and to examine if teaching problem solving skills could facilitate participants to develop insight problems.
