I need an example of "real life" problem solving by "insight" for psychology
gproblem solving is a cognitive process. solving a problem by insight means that solution suddenly comes to ones mind. such a method was observed when many researchers themselves experienced it. when archemedes had to identify the material(lead or gold) used for the crown of the king he couldnt solve it all at ones. he needed the vlume of the crome for this and there was no formula for calculating its volume. suddenly while taking a bath he decided to calcule volume of water with and without crown using formulas and then subtract them so as to get the volume of crown which would help in identifying the material used.
solving a problem by insight involves four stages.
